With crazy outfits, even crazier songs and just a touch of talent, the British public have revealed in a study from TalkTalk TV the top ten reasons that they tune into the Eurovision Song Contest.
Only 6% of those questioned in the survey were watching the world's 'greatest music competition' for the genuine music talents, and it was in fact a quarter who admitted their main reason for viewing was because 'it's so bad it's good'.
Over 33% take the event as an opportunity to host a party for friends and family for hilarious TV moments, while 20% watch hoping that something will go wrong such as a contestant forgetting lyrics or a comical translation or misinterpretation.
