Louis then defended the competition, telling the host that it is “brilliant fun and I watch it every single year.”
He continued: “There are some really good songs…you just played all the bad ones.
“ABBA came from it, Johnny Logan, Celine Dion…so many good ones.
“It is light entertainment at its best, Piers and you might not like it but I love it.”
Addressing Ukraine’s victory last year, just months after the invasion of the country by Russia, Morgan said: “I really didn’t like Ukraine winning it last year simply because the country is at war.
“The moment any competition goes into what I’d call transparent virtue signalling – because they weren’t the best act, we all know that – then it’s not a competition, it becomes something else. It’s people just ticking boxes.
