Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter has made a savage dig at the UK's Eurovision Song Contest entrant Mae Muller, who sadly came second to last after a nail-biting vote on Saturday 13 May. The 76 year old panellist and former journalist weighed in on the UK's low position in the song contest, following Sam Ryder's rare second place in 2022, and she didn't hold back.The competition, which was held in the UK for the first time in 25 years, ended up giving the trophy to Loreen of Sweden and her powerhouse ballad Tattoo, who had won once before. Finland came second, Noa Kirel of Israel then came in third, and Italy was fourth.
But while UK star Mae's track I Wrote A Song was a respectably catchy hit to many, Europe didn't feel the same. Slamming the "dated production and style of the performance", Janet told her fellow Loose Women stars Judi Love, Brenda Edwards and Ruth Langsford her thoughts. "Here in Britain we have got the best technicians, the best lighting, the best costume and the whole package was good," she said.
"All the little films were really really good. But then when we came to our song it was like Lily Allen from about 10 years ago." "Wow, wow," Judi responded in shock, as Janet apologised. "I mean I'm sorry I...
Even my dog went and had a lie down." Janet continued to share her scathing reviews of the acts on Eurovision, with Mae not even getting the worst one. Criticising Loreen's choice of outfit for the show, the red-headed star went on: "Her fingernails were kind of like 5ft long and she had a plastic nappy on." “It’s called a jumpsuit," Brenda hit back, telling Janet that all her annoyances with the acts simply came down to them being "typical Eurovision". Loose Women continues on weekdays at 12:30pm
