The way #LoveIsland UK fans can’t deal with one man from a musical theatre background… meanwhile the entire cast and host of Love Island USA created a literal music video within the first 3 minutes of the season

Will never not be fully engrossed by the cheesy miming along/chroreo intro to each new series of Love Island USA #loveislandusas8 #loveislandusa

Big Weekend is here and the identity of tonight's special guest has just been confirmed! https://t.co/8yL8oMxTtQ #bigweekend #radio1

As Mis-Teeq is reuniting it's the perfect time to talk about how Sabrina's OMG is one of the best pop songs and least deserving flops of all time. Lady GaGa would've killed to have it.

20 years ago today, arguably one of the most iconic iterations of reality TV premiered, with the launch night of BB7.

20 years!!!!!!!

I’m sorry, but absolutely no one will ever convince me that these 30 seconds shouldn’t have been Australia and Delta’s winning moment at Eurovision. The vocals, the camerawork, the staging; every second is iconic. Pure perfection, and easily what should have been a winning moment

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Why has it taken me until Eurovision is over to come around to the notion that both San Marino and Austria were actually quite the bangers! #Eurovisión2026 #Eurovisión

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

BBC sign up Marisha Wallace for Eurovision 2027 NOW!

[Marisha Wallace @marishawallace]

@LeonJames22 I have written songs with Eurovision writers in Stockholm some of them had winning songs before. Cool to see their process.

Delta Goodrem annihilates the rest of the competition and only finishes 4th? Pfffft... She should have won by a MILE...

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Somewhere in my dreams are the organisers of Mighty Hoopla ringing DARA, Delta Goodrem and Antigoni and asking them to be on the line-up for this year #Eurovisión #Eurovisión

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

The UK jury only giving Delta three points - anyone care to explain why??? #Eurovisión #Eurovisión2026 #UK

[Josh @Joshlovesit87]

Delta Goodrem should hold her head up high !! she gave one of the most stunning performances in Eurovision History !! we ❤️ you Queen.😘🥰🥰 #Eurovisión2026 #Eurovisión #eurovisióngr #eurovision

[Kacper 🪽 @flop_records]

She brought back Australia to the grand final after 2 years, gave one of the best performances this contest has ever seen and finished 4th giving Australia their 2nd best result ever
DELTA GOODREM EVERYBODY

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

My big question from last night is why did the juries not give Australia the points she deserved? I’m truly baffled! There was nobody in that arena in the same league as Delta #Eurovisión2026 #Eurovisión

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Trying not to read TOO much into this but the signs are definitely encouraging! https://t.co/3wmk9GmGaR #Eurovisión #Eurovisión2026 #AUS

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Can’t believe it’s final day already! Having had her as my number 1 for months, I’d love Delta to win for Australia but in my heart of hearts I feel another Dami Im 2016 situation coming on. And not sure I’m emotionally prepared for that! #Eurovisión #Eurovisión2026 #deltagoodrem

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

So much to unpack from the running order! Denmark on first, Greece & Aus both early doors & Finland not quite getting the pimp slot many hoped for/predicted. Romania the big winners from the draw & starting to think she might win on the night! https://t.co/bFgaGpz0pJ #Eurovisión

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Honestly all bets are off after this. Romania could be the dark horse that actually goes and wins. Would have been epic to see Delta near the end but 8th isn’t as bad as it might have been. Still not ruling out Italy either. Could see them getting an unexpected win #Eurovisión

[ESC Discord @ESCdiscord]

🚨 This is the running order for the #Eurovision 2026 Grand Final!

[Simon Duke @simon_dukey]

Not Delta getting first half 😭😭😭 #Eurovisión #Eurovisión2026
