Serbia’s Marija Serifovic won the Eurovision Song Contest last night, with the UK’s entry limping in second last place.

Serifovic’s “big ballad” ‘Molitva’ beat off competition from pre-show favourite Ukrainian drag queen Verka Serduchka to scoop top spot in Helsinki.

However, the only good thing we can say about Scooch’s ‘Flying The Flag (For You)’ – which Entertainmentwise stands by regardless – is that it avoided the ignomony of ‘nul points’, with votes from Malta and Ireland offering a poor impression of the regional nepotism so evidenced by the Eastern European countries.

Ireland were last.

Did we really think Scooch were going to get anywhere? Really? Lets get Carcass back together for the next one, then we might get some votes from Scandinavia...
