Eurovision fans have reacted with fury after the UK's entry, Look Mum No Computer, finished last in the grand final on Saturday night. The electronic act scored zero points, prompting accusations of the worst song ever sent by the UK. The result continues a dismal run for Britain, which has not won the contest since 1997.
The UK's poor performance was compounded by a chastening week for British acts in Vienna. Boy George, who had been brought in to add star power to San Marino's entry, failed to qualify for the final. The UK now holds the record for the most last-place finishes in Eurovision history.
Social media erupted with criticism, with many calling the song 'embarrassing' and 'a national disgrace'. One fan tweeted: 'This is the worst UK entry I've ever heard. Nul points was generous.' Another wrote: 'We need to take Eurovision seriously or just pull out altogether.'
The UK's disastrous showing has reignited debate about the country's approach to the contest. Critics argue that the UK relies too heavily on novelty acts and fails to send competitive songs. The BBC has yet to comment on the result.
