Sarah Cawood hosted BBC Three's Eurovision coverage back in 2010 but that hasn't stopped her hitting out at the broadcaster for its treatment of the competition.
In a column for Attitude magazine, the TV presenter said that this year's contest would be "monumentally anticlimactic" and claimed the BBC doesn't want to host the competition again.
Cawood complained that the UK was being "represented by a band they don't know singing a song they didn't choose" after the BBC chose 'Still in Love with You' by Electro Velvet.
"You only have to glance across your social media platforms on Eurovision night to see that the UK Love This S**T and the event itself remains one of the highest rated shows the BBC has each year," she said.
"I have never understood the arrogance of the Beeb which results in UK public having little or no say in who represents our fine country at Eurovision.
