    Thanks to two semi-finals earlier this week, 42 countries have now been whittled down to 26. 

    Italy and Portugal are a couple of the favourites. 

    And there's a treat in store, as Italy's Francesco Gabbani takes to the stage with a gorilla - we'll leave it to you to decide if this enhances his performance!

    Portugal's Salvador is also hotly tipped - his semi-final rendition got a lot of good reaction earlier in the week, after he missed rehearsals due to a health condition.

    Speaking of Lucie... here's what she said earlier to our reporter Neil Smith, who's out in Kiev:

    "You can't believe the odds; anything can happen with these shows. I was favourite to win The X Factor [in 2009] and I got kicked out in favour of Jedward!" 

    Indeed. 

    Read the full interview right here.
