Viewers complain of technical issues during Graham Norton's Eurovision opening

BBC viewers were upset because they couldn't hear Graham Norton at the beginning of the Eurovision Song Contest final. People on X (Twitter) complained about the sound issues. Some said Graham sounded like he was in a bathroom or underwater. Eventually, his microphone started working properly. Graham Norton later welcomed everyone to the Eurovision Song Contest. Representing the UK is Olly Alexander, aiming to bring Eurovision success back home for the first time since 1997. Olly's interview before the Grand Final was canceled so he could rehearse. Protests in Malmo, Sweden, where the contest was held, caused security concerns for some participants. At the start of the show, UK fans expected to hear Graham Norton but heard Scott Mills instead. Norton's sound was fixed later on. Some viewers were worried about the show's quality after the initial audio problems. Fans shared their frustrations on social media about Graham Norton's microphone issues during the broadcast.
