The UK finished dead last at last night's Eurovision grand finale - as Dara bagged victory for Bulgaria.

Sam Battle, who performed for the UK under his stage name Look Mum No Computer, took to the stage as the 14th entrant during Saturday's showpiece.

However, the Briton failed to win over both the juries and the members of the public who lodged their votes.

Mr Battle earned just one solitary point from the jury vote, thanks to Ukraine.

Europe's public then awarded him zero points.

Meanwhile, it was a historic night for Dara who was overcome with emotion as they celebrated being crowned the 2026 Eurovision winner.

Despite the loss, Mr Battle appeared to take the results in his stride, laughing and waving his Union Jack to the camera.

Former UK acts of recent years, such as Remember Monday, Olly Alexander and Mae Muller also received no points from the public vote.

At the other end of the leaderboard, it was a tense final moment as Dara was left on tenterhooks to see if she would emerge on top.

Israel's Noam Bettan was occupying the number one spot before Bulgaria learned of the public's vote.

Mr Bettan's 343 was soon surpassed by Dara, who bagged the trophy with an incredible 516 points following the public vote.

Israel ended in the runner-up spot, despite facing numerous protests and boycotts over their inclusion.

In bronze position was Romania's Alexandra Căpitănescu. Her song Choke Me had been marred in controversy prior to the vote, but the public rallied behind her.

Finishing in fourth was Australia's Delta Goodrem, who had emerged as a surprise favourite just hours before the finale kicked off.

Her track Eclipse performed well with both the juries and the voting public, alike.

Italy finished in fifth, while arguably the most surprising result came in sixth place on the leaderboard.

Despite being odds-on favourite with several bookmakers, Finland could only finish outside the top five with 279 points.
