This year’s event was hosted in Liverpool.

It was due to be hosted in Ukraine as the country won last year’s event, but due to the ongoing situation surrounding the Russian invasion, it was instead held in the English city.

Ireland’s entry Wild Youth failed to make the final with their song We Are One.

The four-piece band failed to make it through to the Grand Final, despite delivering a strong performance and getting a rapturous response from the crowd.

Ireland has now not qualified for the Grand Final since 2018.

Meanwhile Sweden’s Loreen had a historical win.

The singer, who previously triumphed in 2012, made history as the first woman, and only the second person, to win the contest twice.
