Thankfully, after bouncing back in style to earn rave reviews in Friday's jury final, there were no such issues for Olly and his dancers as they performed in 13th spot in Saturday's grand finale and, while getting a high of 8 in the jury vote and ended up on the left hand side of the leaderboard on 46, things went badly wrong for the UK when the results of the Eurovision final televote were revealed.
