Eurovision star Sam Ryder ‘speechless’ after being invited to perform at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Party

Eurovision runner-up Sam Ryder has been selected as one of the acts to perform at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert.

“I’m so happy and so grateful for the opportunity, I’m a bit speechless,” he told This Morning’s hosts.

The singer, who represented the UK in the 2022 contest, just fell short of Eurovision glory in Turin, Italy, with 466 points.

Queen & Adam Lambert will open concert of the Queen’s 70-year reign on the throne.

George Ezra, Alicia Keys, and opera singer Andrea Bocelli are also booked to perform.
