Graham Norton, the iconic TV presenter known for his witty commentary and brutal honesty, once again stole the show at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025. Taking over commentary duties for the BBC for the 16th year, Graham did not hold back when it came to sharing his thoughts on Ukraine’s act, Ziferblat, during the final of the singing competition.
Who is Graham Norton, you ask? Well, he’s an Irish TV presenter who took over from the late Terry Wogan in 2009 as the face of Eurovision commentary for the BBC. Fans of Graham were thrilled to see him not only on their screens for Eurovision but also making a cameo in the latest episode of Doctor Who. Talk about a man of many talents!
As Ziferblat, made up of Daniel Leshchynskyi, Valentyn Leshchynskyi, and Fedir Khodakov, took the stage to perform their song “Bird of Pray,” Graham couldn’t help but make a hilarious comparison between their outfits and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I mean, who knew Ukraine’s entry would remind anyone of the Iron Lady, right? But hey, Graham always knows how to keep us entertained with his sharp wit and clever observations.
The moment quickly became a talking point on social media, with viewers rushing to share their thoughts on Graham’s quip. From comparing Danya to a “teenage Maggie Thatcher” to expressing disbelief at Graham’s bold statement, the internet was buzzing with reactions. And let’s not forget the technical difficulties Graham faced with his microphone at the beginning of the night. It just added to the chaos and charm of live TV, don’t you think? All in all, Graham’s commentary added that extra dose of humor and sass that we all love to see at Eurovision.
