She was parachuted in to take on the role vacated by Scott Mills – now new Eurovision Song Contest presenter Angela Scanlon<\/a> is backing the UK to do well on Saturday.<\/p>\n The bookies have so far placed our act Look Mum No Computer way down in 18th place, with odds of 250-1 to triumph.<\/p>\n But everything could change after viewers get to see the full staging in Thursday\u2019s semi-final, including some \u201crisky moves\u201d by performer Sam Battle, whose song is a fusion of synths and electronic-bass.<\/p>\n At one point he is rumoured to be standing on a table being carried by a team of four dancers. \u201cThere\u2019s something really exciting about an act that feels completely original \u2013 and that\u2019s what he brings in spades,\u201d Angela told the Mirror<\/a>. \u201cEins, Zwei, Drei has personality, energy, and that slightly unpredictable edge that Eurovision audiences love. If the performance lands the way it promises to, I think it could really connect. And ultimately, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about \u2013 creating a moment people remember.\u201d<\/p>\n The Your Home Made Perfect presenter, 42, is thrilled to be hosting the two semi-finals on BBC1<\/a> alongside Rylan Clark this year, describing the event as \u201cthe world<\/a>\u2019s biggest music festival, talent show, and theatrical spectacular all rolled into one.\u201d But she admitted that the complicated voting system, which incorporates votes from national juries as well as viewers at home all over the world, would again \u201ctest your emotional resilience\u201d.<\/p>\n Angela Scanlon with her ‘boss’ Rylan Clark had a ball backstage in the first semi-final<\/p>\n The star said she was thrilled to be part of ‘the world’s biggest music festival’<\/p>\n One source who has seen the UK\u2019s rehearsal said: \u201cSam could surprise everyone with his staging. He\u2019s very cool and there are some risky elements with him dancing on top of things. It\u2019s precarious and a bit dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n On Thursday Look Mum No Computer will take part in the second semi – even though the UK\u2019s place in Saturday\u2019s final is guaranteed. Others performing on the night include former Neighbours star and judge of The Voice Delta Goodrem, for Australia<\/a>, and ex-Love Islander Antigoni Buxton, who is singing for Cyprus.<\/p>\n Other countries vying to get through the second semi-final include Ukraine<\/a>, Bulgaria and Denmark.<\/p>\n Rylan, who has been part of the BBC<\/a>\u2019s Eurovision coverage since 2018, when he took over from Mel Giedroyc, said he loved getting into the commentary box and meeting up with international friends old and new. \u201cThere are commentary teams from all over Europe and in that week, you all get to know each other pretty well,\u201d he explained. \u201cAfter doing it for so long, the commentary box level is one big party, and I love seeing my fellow commentators from other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n English musician Sam Battle, aka Look Mum No Computer and representing Great Britain with the song ‘Eins, Zwei, Drei'(Image: APA\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n Rylan was said to have been \u201cdevastated\u201d when Mills lost his job at the BBC in March, because they had become close friends outside of work. Mills was sacked from the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show over personal misconduct relating to “serious sexual offences against a teenage boy\u201d. A police probe which ended in 2019 found insufficient evidence to bring charges.<\/p>\n But he was also informed that he will not work for the BBC again.<\/p>\n Despite this Rylan, 37, has vowed to enjoy himself while in Austria for the ESC. \u201cThis year we\u2019re heading to Vienna to have some fun.,\u201d he insisted. \u201cIs there anything that\u2019s not been done? We\u2019ve had butter churning, singing in the rain, and even Bonnie Tyler singing on a mechanical lift. It\u2019s unique. And that\u2019s what Eurovision is all about \u2013 the unexpected.\u201d<\/p>\n The current favourite to triumph on Saturday is Finland, with Greece<\/a>, Denmark, France and Australia also looking strong.<\/p>\n![\"Angela](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/0_Screenshot-2026-05-13-at-145111.png\")
