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 blame the people publishing the articles but I also understand they're playing in a rigged game. The platforms (facebook, reddit etc) that they depend on to get views REQUIRE headlines to be insane clickbait.

If I were the boss of Lemmy I would mandate that all communities require de-clickbaited headlines but what can you do.

Yeah, it's like how I try not to begrudge YouTubers who make those thumbnails, no matter how much they enrage me.
