But if you missed it, or maybe just can’t get enough Eurovision action, these were the ridiculous moments that kept us entertained...
1. The opening montage blatantly taking inspiration from last year’s Love Island trailer

EBU
Caroline Flack is foaming.

ITV
2. Dana International opening the show and somehow looking 21 years younger than she did when she won the contest back in 1998

EBU
For that reason, we’ll forgive her for the lip-syncing.
3. Everything about the San Marino entry
Open Image Modal
EBU
A) The lyrics B) The dancers, and C) The Pitbull tribute act performing it.
4. One of the hosts cracking a joke about Grindr
Open Image Modal
EBU
“We all have lots of apps on our phones. Ones to get around, ones to order food and a certain one that’s on fire right now thanks to all the handsome tourists in town.”
5. Sweden becoming an instant meme
6. A couple of fencers turning up to face-off during Greece’s performance

EBU
Oh right.
7. The yodelling the bloke seen here on the right was doing during Norway’s performance
Open Image Modal
EBU
As Graham Norton said, only at Eurovision.
8. Iceland turning the Eurovision stage into a S&M sex dungeon
Open Image Modal
EBU
That’s not why mums go to Iceland.
9. Azerbaijan doing away with backing dancers and replacing them with a pair of laser robots
Open Image Modal
EBU
Yet another example of robots doing humans out of a job.
10. Australia performing their song on 16ft swaying poles
Open Image Modal
EBU
We were shook.
11. Conchita turning up for the interval show with a whole new look
Open Image Modal
EBU
Consider our wig (and indeed his wig) well and truly snatched.
12. Verka rocking up to cover Netta’s Toy
Open Image Modal
EBU
Just in case you were in any doubt that Eurovision could get any camper.
13. Graham Norton praising Madonna for turning up to work “despite what looks like a nasty case of conjunctivitis”
Open Image Modal
EBU
His commentary never lets us down.
14. Netta’s interval act outfit
Open Image Modal
EBU
Big Bird is the only other person who could pull off this much yellow.
15. Madonna featuring a set of stairs and a cape in her performance like the Brit Awards 2015 never happened
Open Image Modal
EBU
Did she not learn her lesson last time?!
16. Rylan announcing the UK result in front of a picture of London’s Tower Bridge, despite everyone knowing he was actually in Tel Aviv
Open Image Modal
EBU
The magic of TV.
17. Oh, then there was the embarrassment of the UK finishing at the very bottom of the pile
Open Image Modal
EBU
Yep, we won just 16 points and finished 26th out of a possible 26.
At least there’s always next year, right?
12 Acts To Send To Eurovision
Little Mix(01 of12)
Open Image Modal
Currently churning out banger after banger in the run-up to the release of their third album, Little Mix would be perfect representatives for the UK. They're fun, they're energetic, they're young... and even Electro Velvet themselves couldn't mess up a chorus as monster as 'Black Magic', 'DNA' or 'Salute'.

Seann Miley Moore(02 of12)
Open Image Modal
If we know 'X Factor' (and after 11 years we're pretty sure we do), then all the attention that Seann Miley Moore has been getting at Bootcamp and the auditions means we can probably assume he's a shoo-in for for live shows this year.His experimental dress sense and thundering voice would undeniably go down a storm with Eurovision viewers, who crowned Conchita Wurst winner just over a year ago.

Lauren Goodger(03 of12)

The Goodge has been teasing the launch of her music career for as far back as remember, and frankly we're growing impatient.Eurovision would be the perfect way to give the public the chance to hear her voice, as well as an opportunity for the UK to show the rest of Europe our favourite national treasure... Lauren Goodger. (credit:Doug Peters/Doug Peters)
Geri Halliwell(04 of12)
Open Image Modal
Geri's ill-fated 2004 track 'Ride It' sounded so Eurovision we half-expected to hear Terry Wogan muttering inanely through the second chorus, so we know she has it in her to deliver for a Eurovish audience.More importantly, she's been teasing lately that she's recording new music - and Eurovision would give her the perfect platform to showcase it (and leave that 'Half Of Me' debacle far, far in the past...) (credit:Rex Shutterstock)
Steps(05 of12)
Open Image Modal
Since the surprisingly glossy Steps reunion tour, the five-piece group have gone all quiet, with Claire Richards appearing on 'Celebrity Big Brother' and Lisa Scott-Lee touring the nation in 'Celebrities On Ice'.As much fun as all that sounds, we do think it's time for Steps to reclaim their throne as the nation's favourite guilty pleasure act, and what better way for it than with Eurovision?

La Roux(06 of12)

Alternatively, if voters are looking for something a bit more credible, look no further than La Roux. Her last album, 'Trouble In Paradise' boasted some of the most sophisticated Europop-inspired choruses we've heard in a long while, but still managed to keep a catchy, disco-inspired feel.In other words: she'd be Eurovision gold.

Aston Merrygold(07 of12)
Open Image Modal
Something a bit different, perhaps, but Aston's debut single 'Get Stupid', while not exactly setting the charts on fire, did represent quite well exactly what's going on in the UK music scene in the moment. (credit:Rex Shutterstock/Rob Cable)
Tulisa(08 of12)
Open Image Modal
If ever there was a tale of a phoenix rising from the ashes (and then rising again, and then again) it's our girl Tulisa.Her most recent musical offering, 'Living Without You', didn't exactly sound like it cost millions of pounds to create, but that's half the joy of Eurovision, and if that's a sound she wants to explore, she could have Eurovish in the bag. Plus, as anyone who's seen her perform in the past year will attest, she's the stuff Eurovision dreams are made of. Topless men, wafting around a load of women, that fabulous pout. Amazing.

Zayn Malik(09 of12)

THINK OF THE VOTES FROM TEENAGE GIRLS. THINK OF THEM! (credit:Jason LaVeris via Getty Images)
Michelle might seem like a bit of an odd choice, given that she's best known to most Brits as Katie Hopkins' American mate on 'Celebrity Big Brother', but there's so much more to this diva than just that.She's actually had a rollercoaster music career, appearing on 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack as well as in the 80s girl-group, Seduction. Michelle has never actually released any solo material, but given her huge UK fanbase we think the nation could easily take her to our collective bosom.Plus, those votes from international 'RuPaul's Drag Race' fans would speak for themselves.

Katie Price(12 of12)
Open Image Modal
But then again, we could always just go with an old favourite? Katie Price sadly never got to represent the UK at Eurovision (we blame this catsuit), eventually losing out to Javine Hylton.Katie reckons performing on 'Making Your Mind Up' is the only thing she regrets from her whole career - so surely it's time she was given her redemption?
