UK Eurovision Entry SuRie took to the stage on Saturday evening in ninth place, opening the second round of performances.

But halfway through the song, a protestor rushed at SuRie and tried to grab her microphone. At one point, SuRie lost her microphone but eventually got it back and continued to finish the song.

She tweeted after the live show: “Well, I’ve always said anything can happen at Eurovision …”

SuRie went on to say: “I’m so proud of my performance tonight. I gave it my very best.

“It’s been an incredible experience for me. I am so grateful for everyone’s love and support. The fans make Eurovision what it is; the biggest and the most inclusive and open celebration of music in the world.

“Eurovision is a family, and I am proud to be part of it.”
