Not in my opinion but I think you'll find she is a GILF or possibly even a GGILF..... It'd be like throwing a brick up the Mersey Tunnel

I've been to many a Eurovision party that my OH family side holds most years. It ALWAYS involves way too much alcohol and nibbles and logging onto betfair for each of us to place a bet to add a little more excitement to the evening - I must admit, we'll probably miss the evening this year.

One year we all dressed up as past contestants

My other fave from years gone by is this.

Also my celebrity claim to fame is that I once made a cup of tea for a member of Bucks Fizz.
Gosh I forgot Verka - I think the Russian Grannies became fine art for me !

Where have you settled?

True the entry from Mary Hopkins in 1970 was Knock knock whos there and it finished 2nd.

Coming second to Dana - maybe Those Were The Days should have been a Eurovision entry !

We have in the past few years gained a reputation for the older performer. However demographically the average performer is 18 -25.

Also a large percentage of the audience around the world is under 40.
