No one expected the UK to do well in last night's Eurovision but it still stings to see our entrant in last place.
However coming last, out of 26 European countries (and Australia), hasn't stopped the 21-year-old UK act from dreaming big.
Michael Rice, who performed Bigger Than US in Israel on Saturday, May 18, has broken his silence on his placing at the competition, thanking his fans for all their support, according to the Mirror .
Unfortunately for the former X Factor contestant, despite a decent performance in Tel Aviv, the rest of Europe were stingy on their scoring for Britain awarding a paltry 16 points.

Michael took to Instagram where he wrote: "Just want to say thank you for all the amazing messages of support! Me and my team have smashed this whole entire journey and I'm just so proud!!
He continued: "I'm walking away with memories, friends, amazing fans and an experience of a lifetime!
"This is just the start, thank you for believing in me."

Michael dropped to the bottom of the board as the jury votes and public votes were combined on Saturday night's song contest.
After the results had been read, Graham Norton said: "Michael really does not deserve to be in last place. That is so unfair."
The Netherlands went on to take the crown, beating Sweden to the top spot.
