The UK are always among the favourites to win because the people betting at the British bookmakers are British.

Let's remind ourselves how that UK rehearsal went.

Oh my, first semi final on Tuesday - also Helen Terry night! Running commentary overload!!

For one horrible moment I thought I was out on Saturday. I'm not.

I'll be around for the semi finals but not the final.

5 hours, 24 minutes to go to semi final 1!

Ooh, it has been moved back to the re-launched BBC Three after being on BBC Four for the last few years.

I just know that means it's all going to be much more yoof-ful and RuPaul's Drag Race-inspired.

I may miss the beginning, as I have to make food.

This'll be the first time I've watched BBC Three in however many years since it was last on terrestrial TV.

Ooh, some people in drag. I think this is what BBC Three thrives on these days.

I guess "Dance Race" is a spin off of Drag Race.

Annoying BBC voiceover person.

It has started! Scott Mills returns - with Rylan, who is channelling the Conchita gender-neutral look.

I'm hating this already. Just give the prize to Ukraine and we'll all turn up in Kyiv next year.
