So Nicky Byrne *kinda* thinks we will never win the Eurovision again

Next month, Nicky Byrne will battle it out at the Eurovision for Ireland – yet, he thinks we don't have a chance of winning.

Goss.ie reports that while Nicky hopes he might do well because of his star status, the chances are slim.

“I don’t know from an Irish point of view, if the Eurovision is even winnable anymore,” he told the site.

“We’ve fallen off a cliff with Eurovision. The way the other countries select their songs is different, they hold big TV shows, it’s equivalent to the X Factor in terms of production and viewership.

“Even if I do half descent and we claw our way back into good results, maybe next year someone else will step up to the plate and the Eurovision will become something that established acts do."

Well, we don't have all the confidence now, do we, Nicky?
