Katrina and the Waves singer Katrina Leskanich has praised the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest UK entry Sam Ryder but revealed why she doesn’t think he’ll win this year. The 62-year-old joined Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on Friday's This Morning to reminisce about her time in the annual song competition and talk about the upcoming final on Saturday.
Katrina and the Waves, perhaps best known for their hit track 'Walking on Sunshine', were the last UK winners of Eurovision 25 years ago when they performed 'Love Shine A Light'. Katrina recalled how winning the show, changed her life "forever".
When asked about this year's UK entry, the American singer said there was a lot of "love" for Sam Ryder. "Guess what people are feeling the love for Sam," She said: "Do you know why because he looks like a Viking! He does he's got that Viking vibe". Alison asked: "Do you think he could win then this year?".
