Speaking during Thursday’s edition of the programme, they said the UK would struggle to obtain more points as “the whole of Europe hates us.” Her comments follow London-based singer James Newman’s appalling defeat last Saturday. He finished in last place after scoring no points.<\/p>\n

The audience member said: “Do we expect to get any points? Absolutely not – the whole of Europe hates us.<\/p>\n

“But I think we should say back to Europe ‘I’ll tell you what, we’ll take our tourism away’.<\/p>\n

“You know, and see if we get any points then.”<\/p>\n

The remarks come after a new poll suggested the UK should withdraw all financial support for Eurovision. Some observers believe the UK may have been punished over Brexit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The UK has seen its share of the vote significantly drop ever since the 2016 EU referendum.<\/p>\n

A new poll of more than 15,000 Express.co.uk readers has shown the UK should stop financially supporting the event.<\/p>\n

The poll took place from 7am on May 25 to 10.45am on May 26, with 15,324 online readers asked: “Should the UK withdraw all financial support for the Eurovision Song Contest?”<\/p>\n

A huge 90 percent (13,758) said the UK should cease its financial contribution for the event and voted “yes”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The remaining 10 percent (1,566) thought the UK should continue to fund the contest and voted “no”.<\/p>\n

Some Express.co.uk readers commented their opinions in the comments section of the poll story.<\/p>\n

One reader wrote: “Why waste OUR money every year on this load of mostly rubbish? No-one from any country should ever be so humiliated like that.”<\/p>\n

A second person added: “I’m just shocked we were paying into this in the first place.”<\/p>\n

A third commenter wrote: “It’s not a song contest it’s purely political.”<\/p>\n
