The Eurovision Song Contest Final, Graham Norton's commentary, BBC One, 17 May 2025

Summary of complaint

We received complaints from people who felt Graham Norton’s Eurovision commentary displayed bias against Israel.


Our response

The Eurovision Song Contest is not a political event and does not endorse any political message or campaign. Graham provided live commentary on the long running competition, famed for its uniqueness, spectacle, and drama. He brought professionalism, warmth and wit to the proceedings, just as he has every year since 2009.
