<p>Aaaand we have the biggest prop of the contest so far – a metal structure made up of three enormous wings, like something off the set of a sci-fi movie. For scale, each section is bigger than Australia’s staircase, maybe four or five metres high? Sam’s on an illuminated circular plinth in the middle wearing a black outfit with silver trainers, giving it HUGE vocals as the structure lights up, then finally opens up. It’s visually really impressive, and Sam does a great job of connecting with the cameras too.</p><p>The final twenty seconds of this takes a turn from the recorded version, and provides an EPIC finale. Very well played, United Kingdom.</p><figure data-description="Sam Ryder performed SPACE MAN, representing United Kingdom for first rehearsal in Turin PalaOlimpico" data-copyright="EBU / Andres Putting" data-src="https://static.eurovision.tv/hb-cgi/images/963a31a5-efce-4a14-acc7-c98575043e19.jpg&quo
