Back in the '80s and '90s, Ireland were the standout country who dominated Eurovision - even managing a double win with Johnny Logan in both 1980 and 1987.

With Meghan and her nearest and dearest's support, Brooke also released a single called Attention and has plans to showcase more of her material in the future. Brooke says the pair are still in touch and that "good friend" Meghan texted to congratulate her when she heard about her entering Eurovision. In 2020, she entered season 9 of The Voice, where she was picked by coach Meghan Trainor. After being mentored by the US singer, Brooke was voted in third place.

Voting has closed and we now await the decisions. There's an ad break at the mo. The final's 25 country line-up has now been confirmed. We have the power to send 'Derry Lipa' Brooke to the final.

That’s a shame as Scullion, a former Voice UK contestant from Bellaghy in Derry, is just this sort of pop extrovert for which Ireland has cried out at Eurovision. And flanked by backing dancers and fireworks – and was that an Olé, Olé thrown in at the end? He will no doubt create a splash in the final, alongside favourites Ukraine, who qualified on Tuesday. But for Ireland the adventure is over. What’s another year in the euro wilderness? Eurovision wouldn’t be the same without Marty Whelan’s voiceover, and he’s in pithy, punchy form. Scullion’s three-and-a-half minutes under the spotlight arrives halfway through the two-hour event at Palasport Olimpico. Eurovision being Eurovision, the night has something for everyone. A tongue-in-cheek banger which she wrote as a lark two Christmases ago, That’s Rich receives lots of applause in Turin – and on social media – and yet fails to place among the top 10 entries going forward to Saturday night’s grand decider.

Ireland go home after Thursday's semi-final, despite a warm reception for Derry girl Brooke Scullion.

Spain's Chanel and Germany's Malik Harris also got a brief chance to familiarise fans with their songs.

The stage is set in Turin as Ireland's entry Brooke Scullion gets ready to perform her single 'That's Rich' in the second Eurovision semi-final tonight.

Ireland is the most successful country in Eurovision history with more wins than automatic finalists France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.

Those five nations are France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom - all countries with far bigger populations than Ireland. Since 2004, any country that is not in the Big Five or hosting the contest as the reigning winner has to progress through the semi-finals to make it to the Eurovision final. Ireland did not have to qualify through a semi-final for any of its winning years - in 1970, 1980, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1996. But Ireland has to qualify through a semi-final and the others don't. Why is that? Since the semi-finals were introduced, Ireland has failed to make it to the final nine times. But from 2000, a new rule was introduced to stop countries like Germany from missing out on the final. While wins have dried up since then - even modern-day struggler the UK has won it more recently - Ireland still tops the all-time charts for Eurovision Song Contest wins.
