BBC's Eurovision host Graham Norton isn't a fan of Australia competing in the contest.

The country is set to take part for a second time when Eurovision returns on May 14 in Stockholm.

They were allowed to compete in 2015 to celebrate the show's 60th anniversary.

However, Norton told The Sun that he thinks Australia shouldn't take part in this year's event.

He said: "I just do not understand why they are in the Eurovision Song Contest.

"Get rid of Australia. I know some countries aren't technically in Europe but, come on - Australia is on the other side of the world!

"Last year they said it was a one-off as it was a celebratory anniversary and you think, 'OK', but they are back again!

"What's that about? People go, 'Oh you are so anti-Australia'. I've got nothing against Australia. I just think it is kind of stupid."

Dami Im will represent Australia with the track 'Sound of Silence'.
