Although the Years & Years singer, 33, is feeling the nerves, he is hoping his late grandmother will give him the strength to win the competition and do the nation proud.

'What makes it good is the inclusivity, the diversity, and I am choosing to focus on those aspects, so I hope to reclaim the Union Jack in a positive way.
