I’ve been reading up on all the backstage gossip and opinions all day, and now I’m very very excited about tonight’s Eurovision! So, I thought I’d put together some predictions for who I think will end up in what place tonight – but of course, as the semi-finals have shown, you never know what could happen and if there’s one thing for sure about Eurovision it’s that it’s completely unpredictable.
