Tom Dunne: Ukraine will win Eurovision, but Brits making the right moves

Last year, I declared in this column that TikTok stars were the future of the competition. Somebody in Blighty was obviously listening

Tom Dunne is a music-lover extraordinaire who, as well as presenting radio and TV shows, can also be seen in the wild as the lead singer with Something Happens.

This time last year, in an article for this newspaper which I hope is now seen as visionary, I shared some thoughts on Eurovision. Recommendations for, I hoped, a brighter, happier future for all of us. Or at least a way out of the group stages. Well, what can I say? I feel “seen.” Or is it “heard?” One of them, anyway.

Sadly, my fervent dream remains unactioned. This was that anyone who has previously won Eurovision - Johnny, Linda, or Paul for example - and anyone who has ever been invited to discuss it more than three times on the Late Late Show – Johnny, Linda or Paul, for example - be invited on a little trip.
