Countries across the world were greeted by an array of weird and wonderful acts last night as the 65th annual Eurovision Song Contest kicked off in the Netherlands. The night culminated with the Italian band Maneskin being crowned the winners of the song contest - while Britain's James Newman finished bottom of the leaderboard with zero points. Despite the UK's abysmal results, fans were entertained by an array of wonderfully weird entries whose performances left some viewers open-mouthed. The BRIT award singer had been given odds of just 200/1 by Betfair to win the 65th annual Eurovision Song Contest. The scenes of celebration come after Eurovision Song Contest bosses banned alcohol from being consumed at the upcoming final in Rotterdam.
