Eurovision star Sam Ryder: I felt I was worthless
After leaving his record label, Sam Ryder almost quit music. Here's how he picked himself back up.
www.bbc.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on available public reporting up to now.
-
Sam Ryder is frequently discussed in connection with Eurovision media as a potential UK entrant again after his strong 2022 showing, with some outlets revisiting him as a possible representative for future contests. This has appeared in entertainment and betting commentary, but there isn’t a confirmed announcement of his 2025–2026 Eurovision involvement in major outlets as of the latest reports I can access.
-
In retrospective coverage, Ryder remains a prominent figure associated with the UK's Eurovision narrative due to his high-profile 2022 finish and ongoing music career, but again a formal selection or official confirmation for a subsequent UK entry has not been established in the most recent mainstream reporting.
-
For broader context, coverage in 2022 highlighted Ryder’s second-place result for the UK and the public and press interest in potential future appearances, but those pieces refer to past events rather than current status in 2025–2026.
If you’d like, I can:
