Eurovision UK fans have revealed which mega-star they want to represent us next year – as plenty demand a major shake-up.
This year’s hit singing competition officially came to an end on Saturday night (May 13) with Swedish star Loreen storming to victory to take home the coveted trophy.
The UK unfortunately, didn’t do quite as well and ended up with just 24 points and came in second last place. They beat only Germany, who managed to bag 18 points.

But at the end of the song, Seduchka, real name Andriy Mykhailovych Danylko, was seen energetically dancing while kicking their legs in the air.
