So Sweden’s Mans Zelmerlow wins Eurovision – he’s been the favourite pretty much all the way through, so not a huge surprise.

It’s the sixth time Sweden has won the competition. Pretty impressive.

The inspired graphics coupled with a contemporary Aviici-style dance track clearly appealed across the continent, not least in the UK, which was one of many countries to give it 12 points.

“I have so much to say... I’m so extremely happy,” Zelmerlow said as he accepted the award.

“We are all heroes, no matter who we love , who we are or what we believe in.”

It was yet another disappointing night for the UK, who managed to get just 5 points.

Turns our Mara Wilson - who played the youngest daughter in Mrs Doubtfire and the title role in Matilda - has been watching Eurovision tonight and as been tweeting - yes her, really!

Well, we’re about halfway through and the UK has got two points. It could be worse. Not much worse but...

We’ve already lost Portugal and Estonia’s presenters along the way, as the connection cut out. But a huge cheer went up as the presenters cross over to Australia for the first time.

Bit of booing when Russia was announced as being in the lead – and one of the presenters reprimanded the crowd: “It’s about the music, not the politics.”

The press room is full of Eurovision fan bloggers so the atmosphere is pretty electric, especially as the voting pattern starts to take shape. Huge cheers go up across the room from the relevant fans of each country as the scores come in.

Conchita takes to the stage to perform two tracks, titled You are Unstoppable and Firestorm performance, both from her debut self-titled album. 

It’s make or break for Conchita and she’s getting a lot of exposure here – can she use this Eurovision final in her home country to sky rocket into the international musical stratosphere?

And thanks to those who have emailed to let us know who impressed you.

Here's a selection of tweets you've sent about your favourite acts from tonight's show.

At a quick glance, it looks good for Sweden.

Any Il Divo fans out there? Some think the fact this is sung in Italian could go against it, but it’s a beautiful language so I can’t see it myself. 

Simple staging for this trio – the music speaks for itself. It’s been a favourite for months and should feature highly even if it doesn’t win. 

I doubt the boys will be too bothered if they don’t – they’ve already sold one million records and collaborated with Placido Domingo and Barbra Streisand.

Gosh, that was a hard one to sing. The notes are all over the shop.  Elhaida Dani gives it a good crack though. The staging could have been a bit more interesting. Again, not a bad song but it’s probably going to get lost in the penultimate spot, especially sandwiched between big hitters Russia and Italy.

Some commentators in Vienna feel this sticks in the craw a little, given the song’s message of peace and tolerance opposite Russia’s handling of the crisis in Ukraine and its anti-gay stance. But that’s not Polina’s fault. 

It will be some turnaround if Russia do take the Eurovision crown after last year’s entry was booed by some members of the audience.

This isn’t a bad song but I’m afraid I was so distracted by the contemporary dancers  in harem pants swirling around Elnur Huseynov that it’s hard to comment. 

And one of them was bare-chested, shock, horror. But I do recall it had a hint of Hozier about it, at least in the verses.
