On Thursday, the BBC tweeted:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately Ncuti Gatwa is no longer able to participate as Spokesperson during the Grand Final this weekend.

Instead, Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be calling out the UK's points.

According to Scottish newspaper The national,

The BBC's announcement came during the second semi-final, reportedly just minutes after Israel's entrant Yuval Raphael qualified for the final.

I was wondering that as well, if he pulled out due to moral issues with Israel then respect.

But if they are just using deceptive language to stir up bullshit then, well I guess thats par for the course these days.

If and until we have any official statement about his reasons to bow out, everything is conjecture. Maybe I shouldn't have added the National quote in retrospect, but I do think it adds perspective to the larger event.

The burden is not on you, you were were only quoting the article.

I think it's worth mentioning, assuming the National is a respectable publication (I really don't know my UK media).
