Eurovision Song Contest 2019

Ken Bruce introduces the 64th Eurovision Song Contest live from the Expo Tel Aviv, following Israel's win in 2018 with 'Toy' performed by Netta.

Ken Bruce introduces the 64th Eurovision Song Contest from the Expo Tel Aviv following Israel's win last year with 'Toy' performed by Netta.
Ken brings you every country鈥檚 live performance from the final of the world鈥檚 biggest song contest, which is watched around the globe by an audience of over 180million people. Ken will also be joined by broadcaster, journalist and Eurovision guru Paddy O鈥機onnell to share the latest news from backstage and his predictions for the big winners of the night.
Michael Rice is representing the UK with the song 鈥楤igger Than Us鈥. Michael grew up in Hartlepool and in 2018 he won the 成人快手鈥檚 singing competition All Together Now, and in the final got 94 of the 100 judges, including Geri Halliwell, up on their feet to win the show. He spent most of his 拢50,000 prize money opening his own dessert business in Hartlepool and also took his family on holiday. His favourite winners of the Eurovision Song Contest recently have been M氓ns Zelmerl枚w and Salvador Sobral. The UK song entry 鈥楤igger Than Us鈥 was written by Jonas Thander, Anna-Klara Folin, John Lundvik and Laurell Barker.
41 countries are taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019, with Bulgaria absent for the first time since 2015 and Ukraine also pulling out. The contest will take place in Israel for the third time; they have previously hosted the event in 1979 and 1999. They declined to host the competition in 1980 after winning for a second time in a row.
