The fact the BBC didn't used to show the interval acts was a travesty! (Having said that, there have been a few that perhaps would be better not being shown 😅). Agnes is incredible 🙌
Let's listen to the Health Experts instead shall we, also the difference in investment between "men" and "women" is stark particularly within cancer care- women are constantly being let down in terms of funding +tech. Just look at how dreadfully Endometriosis is handled still.
Today’s recommendation from the National Screening Committee on prostate cancer screening is deeply disappointing and a real step backwards. I urge the new Health Secretary to reject it and go further - offering targeted screening for the most at-risk men.
As I warned last November following the initial advice, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men, their families and loved-ones if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups.
Prostate cancer can be symptomless early on - as it was in my case. That’s why screening is essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like with me.
If the advice is to be followed, you could be an older, black man with a family history of prostate cancer and STILL not get routinely screened. Surely, that can’t be right?
There are now better screening options and more advanced focused treatments available in parts of the NHS. I benefitted from these and others could too. Yet this seems to have been ignored by the Committee.
The new Health Secretary needs to be brave and bold. A more progressive and life-saving policy is within our grasp. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, and more families will lose a loved-one. As I said in November, this is avoidable and can be done.
This child athlete has thrown the 2nd furthest of any woman ever...at the age of 18, ahead of all the dopers in history too... wild, significantly ahead of any athlete in the last decade or so. #diamondleague 🤯
One of my favourite parts of being live in the arena is seeing all the acts dance and support each other, it's beautiful and captures the spirit and love of Eurovision, last night's show was a prime example. ❤️❤️🙌🏼🇦🇹 #Eurovisión2026
I tell you what....it's a cracker of a show, the Austrian crowd are fantastic, incredible flag parade, the stage looks amazing and the song quality is definitely my favourite in a few years, genuinely don't know which way it will go. #Eurovisión2026 🇦🇹

Cons -
1) The dreadful Aussie interval act and quiz section - not needed and should have been left on the drawing board.
2) Hosts a bit wooden but then I remember 2015 so perhaps not much difference from then! #Eurovisión2026
But overall a really enjoyable show! 🇦🇹
Thoughts on last night from the arena!
Pros - 1) The crowd- the locals were so hyped up and the atmosphere was electric.
2) The 1st half of the show in particular was brilliant, song and staging wise.
3) The stage itself, it looked incredible. #Eurovisión2026

5) Lots of bars, toilets, free efficient cloakroom.
6) Results sequence kept plenty of suspense and far better paced than 2015.
7) The opening sequence was stunningly beautiful and emotional, plus the Prater Circus performers were great...

Fans are aware that *almost 100% of musicians played their instruments live in previous years right?! Yes they might not have been mic'd up but they were still playing them 😅 More tech planning needed but if they are happy to do it....
