Terry Wogan has confirmed that he will no longer be presenting the BBC’s coverage of The Eurovision Song Contest.

“I was considering giving up before Belgrade, and now I have to say I’m very doubtful about ever wanting to do Eurovision again,” Wogan told the Radio Times.

Terry was disappointed and outraged that this years British entrant, Andy Abraham came last with only 14 points.

Commenting on the 2008 contest, Wogan said: “Days before the show, I knew Russia would win. The fact is, Putin was getting nasty, which means the former satellite states were always going to vote for Russia in order to keep the oil coming.

“It’s unfortunate, I suppose, but whereas we have always taken Eurovision with a pinch of salt, the former Eastern Bloc countries are not sufficiently versed in the ways of democracy to realise they are supposed to be voting for a song, not a next-door neighbour.”
