GRAHAM NORTON

It's United Kingdom or Greece now. Will I be cancelling my summer plans in Mykonos out of spite? Will we extend our record as most times in second place? I hope not, I already got my bathing suit.

HOST #2

And finally the moment of truth! Loukas can't shout his love from the rooftops, but can he win?

HOST #1

Or maybe Valerie Ash is getting her glass of wine after all.

Loukas, Valerie and the hosts are shown on a split screen.

HOST #1

The winner of the jury vote, United Kingdom, received from the public...

Everybody is very nervous. Heartbeats are heard again.
