Look Mum No Computer Speaks Out About Getting Zero Points From Eurovision Viewers
The UK’s Eurovision 2026 entrant has shared his take after failing to secure any votes from viewers at this year’s contest.
On Saturday night, Look Mum No Computer – the stage name of musician and YouTube personality Sam Battle – represented the UK at the contest in Vienna, Austria with his song Eins, Zwei, Drei.
In the end, the UK landed at the bottom of the leaderboard and, for the third year in a row, didn’t earn any points from viewers in the televote, meaning no competing countries had us in their top 10 acts.
Fortunately, Look Mum No Computer was spared the dreaded “nul points” as he secured one single point in the jury vote from Ukraine.
During the announcement over the weekend, the UK’s act seemed to take the blow in his stride and laughed it off, and later posted about the result on Instagram on Sunday.
After celebrating that the “deserved winner” had ended up lifting the Eurovision trophy on the night, Look Mum No Computer said he’d “met a lot of amazing folk” during his experience at the contest, adding: “The most important thing is we all tried our hardest. Regardless of what is against us. Whatever it may be.
“Gotta keep trying your hardest regardless of the foooookennnn outcome!!!”
This year’s Eurovision was once again blighted with controversy due to Israel’s continued participation, despite the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, with five participating nations withdrawing from the 2026 contest in solidarity with Palestine.
For the second year in a row, Israel’s participant finished in the runner up position during the live final, but it was Bulgaria’s Dara who came out on top by more than 170 points with her musical offering Bangaranga.
Bulgaria returned to Eurovision after a five-year absence in 2026, with Dara’s victory representing the country’s first ever win.
