Eurovision 2025 Fan reaction to UK act Remember Monday, plus calls for an ‘offensive' act to be disqualified
France is up now - and counting this, only three acts remain in tonight's contest.
An incredible moment has seen a stadium filled with thousands of people sing along to iconic song Waterloo. The classic track was released by ABBA in 1974.
Hot favourites Sweden - represented by KAJ - performed " Bara bada bastu " .
Graham Norton declared the act "might be our winner."
Sissal represented their nation with track Hallucination. One fan wrote: "In a fair world, Denmark would win and have a global smash song with this absolute BOP." Another added:" Dare i say that Denmark had one of the best vocals of the night so far."
Representing this year's host Switzerland is Zoë Më with track Voyage. As Graham Norton mentioned, the act is especially local as Zoë is from Basel. One viewer commented on X: "Switzerland is so romantic." Another shared: "Switzerland has the voice of an angel."
Klavidia took to the stage for Greece with track Asteromata . The performance featured an incredible costume change from long black dress to a constrasting white dress. One fan commented on X: "What a moment. What a voice. What a soul. Klavdia, you already won us!"
Abor and Tynna flew the flag for Germany with the song Bonna. In his commentary, Graham Norton branded the act as the "best German entry for a long time."
Justyna Steczkowska took to the stage with track Gaja. One fan wrote: " Poland is a vibe. I'm enjoying the staging for this one and her outfit is fab #Eurovision ." Another commented: "The outfit is wild, the song is so dull and basic."
Finland's entrant Erika Vikman performed Ich komme - and fans online had a lot to say.
One wrote: "idk what erika is saying but GO AWFF QUEEN."
Another added: "Finland more like WIN-land!! On ya Erika ya b****y legend!"
While a third shared: "And Finland gets my vote #Eurovision."
An important voting rule for Eurovision 2025 states you cannot vote for your own country. Voting is open to viewers in all participating countries, as well as the 'Rest of the World' — i.e. non-participating countries.
UK's act - girlband Remember Monday performed What the Hell Just Happened? It comes as the trio's result was "revealed" just hours before the final.
Show co-host and Eurovision alum Sandra Studer is treating the audience to a performance. She represented Switzerland in 1991, placing fifth place at the time. Sandra quipped, "31 years and four kids ago."
Spanish singer-songwriter Melody is representing her nation by performing Esa diva. Graham Norton noted Spain last won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969 - could this be their year?
Alternative rock band Katarsis are representing Lithuania in this year's final. Could the song Tavo akys secure victory for the group?
Representing Israel is Yuval Raphael with New Day Will Rise.
Following this performance, commentator Graham Norton noted it was a "mixed response" in the crowd.
Rapper and singer Tommy Cash is singing Espresso Macchiato for Estonia's entry. Is anyone else craving coffee now?

Eddie Redmayne cosies up to chic wife Hannah Bagshawe as they join a VERY animated Romeo Beckham at the French Open following his shock split from Kim Turnbull
Eddie Redmayne and wife Hannah Bagshaw joined newly-single Romeo Beckham at the French Open at Roland Garros Stadium in Paris on Thursday. The Oscar winner, 43, cut a stylish figure in a green sweater and jeans which he layered with an alabaster Lacoste sports jacket. Meanwhile publicist Hannah, 42, oozed Parisian chic in a denim dress and shades while posing up a storm before taking her seat in the VIP stands. Romeo, 22, who The Mail revealed on Wednesday had split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull after seven months, put on a very animated display as he watched the Singles Semi Final match between Carlos Alcaraz of and Lorenzo Musetti. The son of David and Victoria Beckham looked sharp in a dark suit as he pulled wild faces during the nail-biting game. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Mail revealed earlier on Wednesday that the couple had gone their separate ways after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance ' fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram however despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship has now run its course. Friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' Meanwhile publicist Hannah oozed Parisian chic in a denim dress and shades while posing up a storm before taking her seat in the VIP stands Romeo, 22, who The Mail revealed on Wednesday had split from girlfriend Kim Turnbull after seven months, couldn't contain his excitement as he watched the match The Mail revealed earlier on Wednesday that the couple had gone their separate ways after seven months together, with friends saying that the romance ' fizzled out' He was joined by his beloved wife of 45-years Lisa, 70 It comes following the news that dad David is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years. The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun. His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria will be known as Lady Beckham. The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. The 76-year-old monarch was heard congratulating the former England footballer on his landmark celebrations – and asked the star whether he had received their present. Standing outside the Highgrove stand run by the monarch's charity, the King's Foundation, Beckham – who is now an ambassador for the organisation – greeted the sovereign warmly and said: 'Your Majesty, it's so nice to see you.' Astonishingly, Charles then appeared to ask whether he had received the birthday present that he and his wife had sent. 'You got it, didn't you?' he asked. 'It was incredible,' beamed Beckham. 'Thank you, it was very kind.' Camilla added: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003. While his appointment as an ambassador to HM's charity the King's Foundation was deemed an encouraging sign earlier last year, but his complicated tax affairs had once been viewed as a possible barrier. And in February 2017, there was a slew of leaked emails showing the former footballer had appeared to unleash a barrage of expletives criticising the honours committee that had once again left him off the list for a coveted gong. There was also an alleged 2013 leaked email, when, bitter not to be knighted, he complained about Katherine Jenkins, fuming 'Katherine Jenkins OBE for what? Singing at the rugby and going to see the troops. Plus taking coke. F****** joke.'

Hotel review: Myconian Kyma, Mykonos, Greece
With its panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and white-washed good looks, Myconian Kyma is as glamorous as it is luxurious. Factor in its king-of-the-hill spot being a short stroll from the vibrant centre of Mykonos and a buggy ride away from enjoying the top-notch facilities at its sibling hotels, Korali and Naia, and you're checked in for an exceptional retreat. Room and facilities While on the outside Kyma is true to its Cycladic roots – all white-washed walls and cubist architecture – inside the vibe is decidedly contemporary: think modern art, fine fabrics and designer lighting. Its looks also take their cue from the hotel's name – 'Kyma' meaning 'wave' in Greek – thus oceanic blues and greens rule. As you'd expect from a hotel of this five-star standing, rooms and suites are born with your every comfort in mind. Some even boast private terraces with pools or hot tubs overlooking those dazzling views of the Aegean Sea. I had the pleasure of staying in one of the Nissos suites. The bright white interiors created a serene atmosphere, while he rattan details and tropical wallpaper added an exotic and sophisticated touch. As for the king-size bed, flat-screen TV, Nespresso machine and well-stocked mini bar – they were, all as you can imagine, used and thoroughly enjoyed. While the marble bathroom was not only suitably sleek and flowing with high-end toiletries and plush towels, the real highlight was the view from the balcony. Watching the sun set over the sea while sipping on my complimentary bottle of fizz was pure heaven. Food and drink Noa, Kyma's sole eatery, can't fail to delight. Located in the main area, guests can choose to either dine inside, or opt for a more relaxed vibe at one of the tables around the pool and DJ booth. Breakfast is a well-organised buffet featuring a wide array of options, including cooked eggs, breakfast meats, yogurts, cereals, fresh fruit and a good selection of pastries and bread. The staff are attentive from the moment you sit down, offering fresh juice and hot drinks right away. In the evening, Noa transforms into an ambient dining spot with the same impeccable service. Memorable starters include the sea bass ceviche, prepared with tomato, lime and quinoa, and the trio of Greek dips served with warm pita. For mains, I highly recommend the fish of the day. I had the sea bass (again), which was freshly filleted in front of us – the manager did an excellent job, as not a single bone was found. Accompanied by vegetables and potatoes, it was incredibly fresh and delicious. Be sure to come with an appetite, as the portions are generous. Hotel highlights Surrounded by sunbeds and shaded cabanas, the pool deck is the heart of the hotel. It has an outdoor lounge and bar with a DJ booth, and the music hits just the right ambient note without being too imposing. The Satory Thalasso spa is a must-visit – and not just for its five heated pools, but for its treatments, which are designed to re-energise you. I indulged in the CBD Relaxing Massage, a 55-minute session focusing on easing pain and inflammation while also aiding digestion, mood and sleep. It was pure bliss, and I slept like a baby that night. Additionally, Kyma offers a concierge service that can arrange a variety of excursions, including beach tours, horse riding, yachting and much more. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, they have you covered. What to do nearby While the hotel is the perfect hangout for a quiet and relaxing retreat, it is also just a short ten-minute stroll from the island's thriving nightlife, making it ideal for those seeking a bit more action. Mykonos is often celebrated as the Greek party island, but there is so much more to it than that. The island is brimming with quaint boutiques, iconic whitewashed buildings, delicious foodie destinations and vibrant beach clubs. With its medieval fishing houses with colourful balconies that seemingly dangle over the water's edge, Little Venice is a must-visit. Not to mention the breathtaking sunset views. But it's a popular area, so be early or book ahead to secure a sea-facing spot at one of the many cocktail bars.
