BBC viewers slam 'cringe' Eurovision Song Contest 2025
Broadcasting live from St Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, the show hit screens and airwaves via BBC iPlayer, BBC One, Radio 2, and BBC Sounds on Saturday (May 17). Presenters Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker, and Sandra Studer were at the helm for the night's festivities as 26 acts battled it out for the coveted trophy. However, the trio's pre-recorded opening segment failed to impress, leaving viewers less than thrilled. It isn't the first time something appears to have gone wrong at Eurovision either. Fans quickly voiced their opinions on X, formerly known as Twitter, with one viewer commenting: "why are the presenters always cringe? #Eurovision.", reports Wales Online. Another chimed in: "Awful cringe hosting but loving to randomness of the hosts costumes #Eurovision." A third viewer remarked: "cringe opening #Eurovision." While a fourth questioned: "Why are the intros always so awkward? #Eurovision #ESC2025." Recommended reading: Graham Norton, the Eurovision maestro, was back in his element as the BBC One commentator, delivering his insights from the commentary box for those tuning in from home. It was a busy evening for Graham, who made a stunning cameo in Doctor Who as a hologram as part of BBC's Super Saturday. After informing Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor that the world is going to end next week in a stunning cliffhanger, Graham was on Eurovision commentary duties for the station. Talk show legend Graham has been commentating on the Eurovision for the BBC since 2009 when he took over the role from Terry Wogan.
