Eurovision 2023 LIVE — Sweden’s Loreen crowned WINNER as UK comes second to last with just 24 points in tense results
LOREEN of Sweden has become the first woman – and only the second person in history – to win the Eurovision Song Contest twice.
Europe’s biggest music party saw the likes of Finnish rapper Kaarija and Australian rockers Voyager perform during a dazzling four-hour spectacle in Liverpool.
But after a marathon vote count, Swedish star Loreen was crowned Eurovision winner after raising the roof with her performance of power-ballad Tattoo.
The singer, who previously triumphed in 2012 with hit song Euphoria, narrowly beat Kaarija after the public and jury votes totalled a huge 583 points.
But it was heartbreak for the UK’s Mae Muller, who came second to last on the board with just 24 points after the public and jury votes.
