Did England Bake a Eurovision Dozen in 2023? Not Quite!
Ah, Eurovision. The annual competition where countries throw their musical hats (or sometimes wind machines) into the ring for a night of glitz, glam, and questionable fashion choices. This year, all eyes were on England, hoping to build on the incredible success of Sam Ryder's near-win in 2022.

So, How Many Points Did England Actually Rack Up?
Brace yourselves, because this is where things get... interesting. drumroll please England snagged a grand total of 24 points, placing them at a respectable (but not exactly medal-worthy) 25th place. Ouch. That's about as many points as there are baked goods in a Greggs on a Tuesday afternoon.
What Went Wrong? Did Someone Forget the Lyrics (Again)?
Thankfully, this year's representative, Mae Muller, didn't suffer a mid-song memory lapse (although, that would have been iconic Eurovision drama). Theories abound for England's less-than-stellar performance. Maybe the song wasn't quite catchy enough, perhaps the staging lacked a certain je ne sais quoi, or maybe the universe just wasn't aligned for a British victory (those pesky juries!).
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
One thing's for sure, it certainly didn't dampen Mae Muller's spirits. After the results, she took to social media with a resounding "Thank you Eurovision. I love you, I love you, I love you!" Now that's the Eurovision spirit we love to see!
