Terry Wogan Fears Eurovision Disenchantment If UK Entry Flops

Broadcaster Terry Wogan fears that the British public will lose interest in Eurovision if this year’s entry, Andy Abrahams, flops.

Abrahams, who was selected by a public vote, is the least favoured British entry of all time – attracting odds of 66-1 with bookmakers.

Despite revealing that he felt Abrahams was “the best UK entry for a while”, Wogan said he was concerned that “disenchantment might take hold”.

“Eurovision is such silly fun, and I love doing it, but if the enthusiasm isn't there...” Wogan told the Radio Times.

"This year is pretty crucial for me. Eurovision without Royaume-Uni would be unfortunate.”

This year’s Eurovision song contest will take place in Belgrade on Saturday (May 25th).

  • Eurovision is great fun to watch and I enjoy seeing the entries from other countries. It is not all about the UK though something should be done to reform the contest. I think any phone vote contest should be restructured the public can be trusted to vote fairly only emotionally.
