Nul points Brits look to the future

HOWEVER disappointed the Irish camp felt after the Eurovision with 53 points under their belts and ranked 11th out of 26, spare a thought for the British after their worst performance ever in the 48-year history of the competition.

Even the Irish failed to give them a vote after their off-key rendition of Cry Baby. Pop duo Jemini were in tears and very much nursing their wounds after receiving the worst ever results for a British act in the Eurovision Song Contest. The result excludes them from next year's competition.

Only the top 12 go forward to the revamped Eurovision next year, which also features a live televised preliminary round. God help us.
