Sam and his song Space Man, co-written with Grammy-winning songwriter Amy Wadge and Max Wolfgang, will appear in Turin on Saturday after being chosen in a nation-wide search.

He is currently one of the favourites to win with Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for bookies BoyleSports, saying ahead of the final: “Sam Ryder is the most followed UK musician on TikTok and punters are really getting behind him to bag the victory at the Eurovision Song Contest.”

Eurovision 2022 airs 8PM on Saturday night on BBC One with commentary from Graham Norton.
