With just 5 points, Electo Velvet performed worse than Daz Sampson (25), Scooch (19), Andy Abraham (14), and even Engelbert Humperdinck (12), making Still In Love With You the UK’s worst entry in 12 years, and the 2nd worst of all time.

Electro Velvet – a specially formed duo of Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas, haven’t yet made a comment about the result, but did retweet a few supportive message from fans.
