Engelbert Humperdinck narrowly avoids coming last in the Eurovision song contest


Last night crooner Engelbert Humperdinck sang his way into second to last place during the 57th Eurovision Song Contest which took place in Azerbaijan  last night.

As the UK’s entry the crooner hoped to break the curse of opening acts failing to win but unfortunately his song choice, Love Will Set You Free, just wasn’t a winner.

Despite wearing a lucky mascot (a necklace Elvis, yes Elvis gave him), he wasn’t even near the winning countries.  To be honest we all knew a 76-year-old who used to be vaguely popular wasn’t going to get us anywhere.

In the end it was Loreen from Sweden who won the contest with a tune called Euphoria.

Meanwhile Jedward, who were performing for Ireland, ditched their trade mark quiffs but kept their out of time dance moves and terrible singing. They still managed to beat the UK though coming in 19th. We’re vaguely impressed.
