Thank you @MonkEmma for putting out this important clarification. I’ve had a lot of people trying to lump me in with the news outlets who were completely misreporting this, and all I truly intended was to post a video of what I felt I saw in the room. I didn’t expect any of this!
OK, so it feels like we need a little context and a sanity check around this story!
The Sun, The Mirror and the Daily Mail all jumped on this, and of course, Twitter managed to turn it into a BBC-bashing story 🙄
(Yes, it's a 22-tweet thread about Eurovision!😆😜)

@chris_maccc@ok_jnr Thanks for clarifying Chris, and absolutely no malice assumed either. We were all loving supporting Sam in the room, and the fact that people are sharing this with the wrong context/made up details isn’t fun to see on this end either
@chris_maccc@ok_jnr Agreed about this not being anywhere near scoring, but just making sure people know the video I posted isn’t at any point attempting to mislead. It was uploaded in the moment, clearly states when and where, and is just merely making a comment on what we saw during the jury show
@ok_jnr I don’t see the misinformation? I didn’t say anything that wasn’t untrue, you’re seeing news outlets getting the context wrong. It was an observation from inside the arena. He was alone long enough for people to notice, and enough for Denmark to hand him a flag and include him
@LoveLovePeaceP1@melodimen Not drawing any conclusions, it’s an observation from fans in the arena seeing it playing out in real time. Other delegations were all there having a nice time, Sam could have had some company tis all...
Sorry but if I was Head of Delegation for the UK I wouldn’t have my act sitting on his own at the top of the Jury show (when points matter) and them having to be adopted by lovely Denmark after the flag parade. Thank you to the Danes. Sam we support you…

Sam/UK update. HE. DESERVES. ALL. OF . YOUR. POINTS. He’s literally stood up and clapped and danced for EVERY ACT when the rest of the green room has been still. WHAT a man
#Eurovision#UK
Never got off the starting blocks so I’m suprised it took this long to confirm it. We acted like a Championship side most of the season, so we better act like a bloody good one for the next… #wwfc
Zia Yusuf said he’s a man of ‘statistics and facts’ and there’s only one clear fact here: he’s absolutely tanking this appearance on #BBCQT and showing what a truly awful human being he is. If he’s the shop front for Reform, we should be truly scared of what’s going on inside…
@NUFCMurph Let’s not pretend there is any loyalty in football. You pursued one of our players endlessly all summer, and turned his head, to the point at which his performance has now plummeted, despite the fact he’d just signed a contract the month prior. Game should respect game…
It’s thought that the ‘penny has dropped’ for Fosun and that they HAVE to invest to push the club forward.
#Wolves trust Vitor Pereira a lot and it’s thought he will be more of a ‘manager’ now rather than a head coach.
#WWFC appreciate that seasons have been ‘wasted’ due to slow starts and have had to spend in January to make amends.

@OxfordshireCC any idea why you’ve completely shut Oxford Parkway for pick-ups and drop-offs with trains still coming in for the next couple of hours? There’s no communication, no signage and no coordination with @chilternrailway - where’s the foresight?
I honestly, as a Brit who’s fully accepted the criticism we’ve received previously, do not understand the hate Remember Monday and their performance just now. Any other country sending that mega trio would be showered in love. All the haters can go have a breather… #Eurovision
