Mae Muller opens up on disappointing Eurovision evening for UK

Mae came second-to-last.

As Sweden celebrate their Eurovision Song Contest win, the UK is still reeling from coming second-to-last place with just 24 points.

Although the UK hasn't had the best luck when it comes to Eurovision entries, hopes were high for this year's contest thanks to Sam Ryder's second-place success in 2022.

But, unfortunately, the UK's unintentional tradition of pulling in at the bottom of the leaderboard returned this year.

While Sweden took home the Eurovision trophy with Loreen's song 'Tattoo', Finland stole the show with Käärijä's song 'Cha Cha Cha'.

Israel come in third place and Italy snagged the fourth spot.

And, in second last place was the UK with this year's entry Mae Muller and her song 'I Wrote A Song'.

Thankfully, we narrowly managed to avoid the infamous 'nul points', and earned 24 points thanks to votes from Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Australia, Ukraine, and Malta.

Still, it wasn't the best look for this year's host country.

Shortly after the heartbreaking results, Mae Muller took to Twitter to thank those who did vote and everyone who helped her get on stage at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool to perform her song.

She wrote: "I just want to say thank u x i know i joke a lot but we really put our all into the last few months, not the result we hoped for but so proud of everyone & what we achieved on this journey.

"Congrats to all the countries, I’ll never forget this journey and I love you all."

Mae was, of course, flooded with messages of support from fans who agreed she should have ranked higher in the competition.

"You tried your best and the crowd loved your performance so there are positives! I’m sure we will see more of you in the future," wrote one viewer.

"It wasn’t your year Mae, but you did your best and that’s all anyone can ask for, well done," tweeted a second.

"I love you, we’ve got your back always. we’re all so extremely proud of you," assured a third.

Meanwhile, Sweden's win last night made singer Loreen the first woman to ever win the Eurovision Song Contest twice.

She's also the second person to ever win the competition twice, following Ireland's Johnny Logan, who won in both 1980 and 1987.

Speaking to LADbible and other media about the record, Loreen said: "Everything feels surreal. I'm seriously overwhelmed.

"You'll have to ask me that question tomorrow, darling! This is so beautiful.

"One feeling that I have in my body is like it's taking over is just gratitude. I feel so thankful to all of you guys."
