Who Is Representing UK In Eurovision 2022?

TikTok star, Sam Ryder, will represent the United Kingdom at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy.

Ryder, who is one of the UK’s most followed singers on TikTok, with 12 million fans on the app, will perform his song ‘Space Man’ at May’s grand final.

“I love Eurovision. I think it’s such a privilege to be able to do it,” he says.

Sam’s taking part following two consecutive years where the UK has placed last at Eurovision.

“I don’t want to let the stigma or fear of coming at a certain place in a table stop me from doing something and being a part of something that I enjoy so much,” he says.

In 2021, James Newman’s entry Embers received the dreaded “nil points” and Michael Rice came bottom in 2019 with the ballad Bigger Than Us.

The 2020 contest was canceled.

“As long as I can go to Eurovision and know in my heart of hearts I’m going to do the best job I can then everything else is out of my control,” he says.
