It was 1.45 am when we took this picture. The smiles of ITV News’ Eurovision Song Contest team hiding the sweat and sugar we’d consumed for hours to keep energy levels up!!

Dear ITV News this is us AFTER finishing our work. There was no ice cream until this moment honest! x.com/jmander_rigby/…

Agreed on that score, Eurovision was a huge history making success. The stand out stars Bambie Thug CUNTRY Ray and Nemo #eurovision x.com/jmander_rigby/…

Absolute pleasure to coordinate colours! What a crazy eventful week with the best team, exhausted by Eurovision but what a year. Will never get those songs out of my head. Here’s to matching fluffies Joe Mander-Rigby Martha

Some subtle moments of defiance - anyone notice the keffiyeh design on Portugal singer’s nails? - but no incidents on stage. I’m predicting Switzerland, Croatia, Finland, Germany and Italy. Where will Israel come? #eurovision ITV News

France stunning performance tonight wow what a voice #eurovision

So biggest media centre support for Croatia. I suspect because journos here fancy a trip to Croatia for next year’s Eurovision!!! #eurovision

#Switzerland surely the winner. Just brilliant #eurovision

Ok not so great a showing of unbiased journo activity in media centre for the brilliant Olly Alexander UK reserve perhaps! #eurovision

Now the Greeks are at it. Absolutely no partisan press in the Eurovision media centre tonigh!!!! #eurovision

Really heating up amongst unbiased journos in media centre during Spain! #eurovision

Equally unpartisan Lithuanian journos responding to Lithuania on stage! #eurovision

This is the entirely unbiased Ukrainian press contingent in the media centre as Ukraine perform at Eurovision. Beautiful scenes #eurovision

One of the best aspects of #Eurovision is never knowing who you’ll bump into…
ITV News live shortly from Malmö with Joe Mander-Rigby behind the lens and Nina Nannar with all the latest ahead of tonight’s final.

A new box for me to stand on. #eurovision

Just watched Olly Alexander in a full dress rehearsal, great performance looked and sounded better than first semi final. He should do really well. #eurovision

Live from the Malmo Arena at 19:08 with Nina Nannar 🎥

With Olly Alexander talking wardrobe malfunctions, political pressure and enjoying the biggest audience of your career ⁦Eurovision Song Contest⁩ ⁦ITV News⁩ at 6.30 today

Well we think we know the favourite in the media centre tonight - this as Croatia’s Baby Lasagne takes to the stage, cracking song, could be the winner #eurovision
