The Eurovision song contest will take place in Ukraine tonight.

A yodelling rap duo from Romania are among the 26 acts taking part in Kiev, though it’s entries from Bulgaria and Italy who the bookies think stand the best chance of winning.

Lucie Jones will perform for the UK.

She originally found fame on The X Factor, but says Eurovision is a completely different experience.

Ireland’s entry ‘Born to try’ sung by Brendan Murray failed to qualify from Thursday night’s semi-final.
