Eurovision 2024 live: who won, reactions and how did Great Britain score?

From a near-nude performance from Finland, a bizarre clip of a group of disappointed Brighton residents and a repeat Gilmore Girls gag, we break down the most bizarre moments.

Eurovision Song Contest winner Nemo Mettler appeared to break his trophy after his victory on Saturday (May 11) in Malmo.

Ironically, the incident occurred seconds after British commentator Graham Norton warned: “Don’t break the trophy.”

Nemo triumphantly shook the trophy in his left hand for the audience before placing it on the floor.

As the focus returned to Nemo, the broadcast camera caught a broken stem that was left behind.

Bambie Thug has accused Eurovision organizers of “not supporting” her over a dispute with Israel.

The singer, who secured sixth place in the music event’s first Irish grand final since 2018, accused Israeli broadcaster Kan of breaking the rules and said they were waiting to hear back from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as to what action would be taken.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place in the darkest shadow of its history, with the atmosphere behind the scenes reportedly teetering on a knife’s edge.

But despite gaping cracks in the façade of international musical unity, the show went on – and music editor Roisin O’Connor’s verdict on the competition can be found below.

Swiss actor Nemo has been crowned this year’s Eurovision winner after the most controversial competition in its history.

In a press conference after the event, Nemo was asked whether organizers would force spectators to throw away the non-binary flag before entering the arena.

“This is unbelievable. I had to sneak my flag in because Eurovision said no, but I did it anyway, so I hope some people did too. But I mean, that’s clearly a double standard. I broke the trophy . The trophy can be repaired – maybe Eurovision needs a little repair now and then.”

Those who planned to boycott this year’s Eurovision have clearly made good on their promise, with overnight ratings showing a significant decline compared to 2023’s figures, the most-watched Eurovision Song Contest since viewership records began.

Olly Alexander’s father expressed surprise that his son received zero points in the public vote for the Eurovision Song Contest.

David Thornton described his son’s participation as a “fantastic learning experience” and called it “another step toward his goal.”

However, he said he thought people would “connect” more with Alexander’s performance of the song “Dizzy,” which he said he “enjoyed.”

“It’s a real surprise to me that the audience couldn’t relate to this song at all, even though the judges gave it a really good rating,” said Thornton.

Alexander took 18th out of 25 places.

The Netherlands has shed more light on the “incident” that led to the disqualification of Dutch delegate Joost Klein from the Eurovision Song Contest.

Klein was unable to appear at the event a few hours before the event’s scheduled date because police were investigating a complaint about inappropriate behavior by a female member of the production team.

AVROTROS, which organizes the Netherlands’ participation in the Eurovision Song Contest, said it was unimpressed by the “disproportionate” decision.

Olly Alexander received mixed reactions to his racy performance at the Eurovision Song Contest.

The 33-year-old British singer performed his song “Dizzy” alongside a group of backing dancers – his first release under his own name.

The Brit was supported in the UK by announcer Graham Norton, who described the performance as “amazing” but admitted he didn’t know how well it would do because “it’s so different to anything else in the competition tonight.”
