The United Kingdom's dismal Eurovision performance continued this year as Look Mum No Computer finished last with only one point. This latest failure adds to a long history of embarrassing entries. Here are the 10 worst UK Eurovision flops of all time, ranked from least humiliating to absolute worst.
10. Andy Abraham (2008)
Former X Factor runner-up and refuse collector Andy Abraham won the UK selection with Even If, but performed second in Belgrade and finished last with 14 points. He was beaten only by Ireland's Dustin the Turkey, who failed to qualify.
9. James Newman (2021)
James Newman had his 2020 entry cancelled due to Covid, then returned with Embers in 2021, becoming the second UK act to receive nul points and finishing last.
8. Scooch (2007)
This bubblegum pop group performed Flying the Flag (For You) in cabin crew uniforms, scoring only 19 points and finishing second from last. The press called it a crash landing.
7. Electro Velvet (2015)
The electro swing duo's Still in Love With You was compared to a potato waffle jingle and scored just five points. MP Diane Abbott called it truly awful.
6. Mae Muller (2023)
Hosting on behalf of Ukraine, Mae Muller's I Wrote a Song finished second from bottom, beating only Germany's Lord of the Lost.
5. Engelbert Humperdinck (2012)
The 76-year-old crooner scored only 12 points with Love Will Set You Free, finishing 25th out of 26. Even a lucky necklace from Elvis couldn't help.
4. Michael Rice (2019)
Former busker Michael Rice came last with Bigger Than Us, scoring 16 points, then lost five due to a Belarusian jury mix-up.
3. Look Mum No Computer (2026)
Sam Battle's novelty entry Eins, Zwei, Drei received one jury point and zero from viewers, finishing last. He called the song Marmite; voters hated it.
2. Josh Dubovie (2010)
Pete Waterman co-wrote That Sounds Good to Me, but it scored only 10 points. Dubovie later changed his name to Josh James to move on.
1. Jemini (2003)
Liverpool duo Jemini performed Cry Baby painfully off-key, claiming a technical fault. They earned the UK's first nul points and last place. Louis Walsh said they sounded like a Boots employee picked at random.
These flops highlight the UK's struggle at Eurovision, with no wins since 1997 and frequent last-place finishes. The search for a winning formula continues.
