Morrissey asks for a shot at Eurovision

Ex-Smiths frontman Morrissey has jokingly asked why he was not considered for the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend.

The suggestion came after the UK's poor result this year, coming nineteenth out of only twenty-four acts.

Morrissey said, "I was horrified to see the UK fail again in the Eurovision Song Contest."

The star went on, saying "There is one question I keep asking: 'Why didn't they ask me?' That question keeps going round my head."
