Eurovision 2018: Ukraine hopeful called out over 'prohibited' item - 'I'm NOT happy'
Eurovision: Rylan reveals Ukraine have a 'prohibited' item
As Scott and Rylan introduced each country performing during tonight’s Eurovision Song Contest semi-final, the latter revealed he was not impressed with Ukraine’s entry.
Ukraine’s hopeful Melovin was performing his track Under The Ladder and the song title had infuriated the This Morning presenter.
Introducing the act, he explained: “Ukraine is the last, I can’t believe it, it’s gone so fast.”
Scott chipped in: “This is the one who sprayed me with his new cologne on the blue carpet and I smelt of chocolate all night.”
“His song is called Under The Ladder,” Rylan continued.
“Ladders are banned from Eurovision by the way.”
Scott added: “It’s on the list of prohibited items.”
“Prohibited item,” Rylan affirmed.
“I don’t know how he got it in. I’m not happy about it.”
The presenter continued: “He, again, was on the sixth season of X Factor in Ukraine, he went on to win it and he was only 18.”

Rylan also add: “He has a pet cat called citrus.”
Despite referencing a “prohibited” item in his performance, Melovin managed to impress viewers and will perform in Saturday night’s final.
He will go up against this year’s favourites Cyprus.
During tonight’s semi-final, Scott chatted to Cyrpus hopeful Eleni Foureira.
He asked her to showcase some of her dance moves ahead of Saturday night’s final.

But as she gave an energetic performance, she accidentally hit Scott.
He could be heard exclaiming “Ow!”
Eleni was quick to ensure that the host was okay following the minor incident.
