10 best reactions to UK coming last at Eurovision

Duncan Laurence, representing The Netherlands, went home the winner of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest with 492 points.

The UK in contrast, came last with Michael Rice’s rendition of Bigger than Us - taking home just 16 points and coming in at the bottom of the rankings as the Hartlepool native sang at the Expo Tel Aviv venue in Israel.

His glittery backdrop of a starry night sky and racing comets wasn’t enough to elevate the 21-year-old’s position.
