Eurovision Song Contest 'loses 2.5million viewers' as competition is overshadowed by boycott over...

The Eurovision Song Contest took place this year in Malmo, Sweden following the country's victory at the 2023 contest with the song Tattoo by Loreen.

Eurovision had its worst night to date after viewing figures plummeted to an all-time low and fans urged bosses in charge to step down According to The Sun, a source claimed: 'There is fury behind the scenes at the way things have panned out this year.''Eurovision is supposed to be a celebration but this year felt chaotic.'

The Swiss star, 24, who is the competition's first ever non-binary victor, left viewers stunned after smashing their trophy just moments after learning of their win before returning to the stage with a bloodied bandage around their thumb. After collecting the trophy from Sweden's 2023 winner Loreen, they excitedly took to the stage for their final performance.

But as the star went to stand back up, Nemo slammed the trophy on the stage as they tried to balance themselves to stand up. In 2009, Alexander Rybak arrived at his Winner's Press Conference with a broken trophy after he represented Norway with the hit Fairytale.The unique hand-made piece of art is in the shape of a classic microphone and is made of solid transparent glass with sand-blasted and painted detailing.

It was designed by Kjell Engman of Kosta Boda in 1946 and they worked as a glass artist for thirty years.There is also one 'mother trophy' with a generic Eurovision Song Contest logo, which is usually displayed in the reception area at the European Broadcasting Union's headquarters. Ahead of the final, Nemo was set as the favourite with 5-2 odds to win after a successful performance on Swiss TV.
