Eurovision Semi-finals 2022

BBC Three, 8pm

The first of the semi-finals from Turin, with, tonight, 17 countries competing for 10 places in Saturday’s final. Scott Mills and Rylan Clark introduce the acts, with notably imaginative song titles including Eat Your Salad (from Latvia’s Citi Zēni) and Give That Wolf a Banana (Norway’s eccentric Subwoolfer). All eyes and ears, however, will be on Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra and their song Stefania.

The rap and folk collective are currently favourites to win this year’s competition. The second semi-final is on Thursday night. GT
