Eliza from London is certainly getting into the Eurovision party spirit with prawn crackers (other brands are available) and a can of fizzy pop. 

Maybe she's also enjoying a spring roll, or a prawn dumpling or two. Enjoy your party! 

Thanks for emailing us at entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.

We only have a few acts to go, but there's still time for another prop - and it could be the best of the lot.

As he walks on stage to sing I Can't Go On, Robin Bengtsson begins a slick routine involving four suit-wearing male dancers on treadmills that glide, slide and move both backwards and forwards.

Sweden has previous when it comes to Eurovision gimmicks. Remember the one that helped take Mans Zelmerlow to victory in 2015?

That was Zelmerlow, by the way, who took part in that rather overextended skit that preceded Lucie Jones's performance.

Cards on the table time. City Lights by Blanche - real name Ellie Delvaux - is my favourite song in this year's competition and one I'd genuinely listen to again when I return to the UK.

As I wrote elsewhere on this site, it's a moodily credible piece of ambient pop performed simply before a backdrop of cascading geometrical shapes.

The biggest liability has been Blanche herself, who has never looked entirely comfortable on stage and looks a little out of her depth.

She's only 17 and will gain confidence with age. I only hope she'll give a performance tonight of which she and Belgium can be proud.

Rachel Chetham's in the mood for a Eurovision party, as you can see. She sent her picture in to entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk

Keep them coming!

Host nation Ukraine are represented by rock group O Torvald and a thunderous song called Time that will have some viewers reaching for the Aspirin (other branded products available).

The band’s five members are joined on stage by a giant metal head with spotlights for eyes that make it look like a massive Terminator.

The lyrics of the song call for time to "find a place without the violence" and "hear the true meaning of silence".

There’s not much silence to be found in this three-minute headbanger - unless you press the mute button, that is.

Something tells me Ukraine really don't want all of us back next year.

It's been seven years since the Germans last won Eurovision and they came dead last in both 2015 and 2016.

Sorry to say it, but they could be headed for another last place with this blandly unremarkable pop track from US songwriting triumvirate Lindy Robbins, Dave Bassett and Lindsey Ray.

Levina - real name Isabella Lueen - begins Perfect Life flat on her back in a backless grey gown in what looks like a direct steal from Hovig. (It's not - the choreography is nailed down long before the running order is confirmed.)

Levina performs in bare feet, as does our own Lucie Jones. It was also the preference of Sandie Shaw, who won the contest for the UK in 1967.

You want yodelling? And rapping? And big glittery cannons? Well, you have come to the right place.

Romania were barred from Eurovision last year but are certainly back with a bang in 2017.  

Singer Ilinca Bacila describes herself as the only yodelling artist in Romania - come on, there must be some competition - while Alex Florea does The X Factor and The Voice when not balancing on cannons.

During his time in Kiev, he's had time to add another to his collection.

We LOVE your photos, do keep sending them in! 

Charles Pottle sent us a pic from his party. They look like they're having fun.

It's not just us it seems who are feeling the lateness of the hour. (Ukraine is two hours in front of the UK, remember.) Midway through his performance of Gravity, Hovig Demirjian ends up flat on his back.

He does perform quite an energetic dance routine, though, so perhaps we should cut him some slack.

Songwriter Thomas G:son is something of a Eurovision legend. He's written more than 80 Eurovision songs, 47 of them for Sweden.

One you may remember is Euphoria, which won the competition for Sweden in 2012.

It's been 20 years since the UK last won Eurovision. Could Lucie Jones be the one to bring the contest back to our shores?

The 26-year-old certainly gives a committed performance of Never Give Up On You, an emotional ballad co-written by 2013 Eurovision winner Emmelie de Forest.

The song begins with Jones in a golden gown, reflected in mirrored panels that create a striking prism effect.

After a quiet beginning, the song builds to a dramatic crescendo that’s reflected by the firework effects that fill the screen behind her.

Brexit or no Brexit, it's one of our strongest efforts in years. Indeed, it might change the minds of some of those who feel the UK should pull out of Eurovision altogether.

Eurovision or revision? It's a toughie...

Acts at Eurovision always perform to a backing track as there's simply not enough time to plug in instruments and have a soundcheck in the brief handover between songs.

Yet some still go through the charade that they're doing an actual concert, bringing on equipment and behaving as if they've just walked on stage at Glastonbury.

Norway’s JOWST is a case in point - though with that scary mask on, maybe DJ Joakim With Steen really DOES think he's at Glastonbury.

There was some disquiet in the run-up to the contest over the way Aleksander Walmann's vocals had been digitally altered and incorporated into the playback of their song, Grab the Moment.

The instruments may be for show, but the singing is supposed to be completely live.

Accusations of vote-rigging cast a shadow over Manel Navarro’s selection as Spain’s Eurovision entrant earlier this year.

Some think the controversy torpedoed the 21-year-old’s chances, though if Manel is worried he's been hiding it well.

The calypso pop of Do It For Your Lover is backed by colourful scenes of surfboards, beach umbrellas and palm trees that evoke a breezy, summery vibe.

It's certainly one of UK entrant Lucie Jones's favourites. She even sang a few bars when speaking to the BBC's Alex Stanger.

Another song, another prop - in this case a paddling pool for two shirtless dancers to splash about in.

Why, I hear you groan? According to Greek singer Demy, it's got something to do with the purity of true love and washing away the past.

Demy - real name Dimitria Papadea - is a 25-year-old law student who has acted in Mamma Mia! In Athens.

Her performance features a nifty light effect that makes it appear as if the water in the splish-splosh is floating upwards.

Demy is another performer whose vocals have been suspect in the run-up to the final. Here’s hoping she gets it right on the night or it may be an early bath for her (ho ho).

We asked you to send us your pics of your Eurovision parties, food, costumes, dance moves, whatever, to entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk.

This looks very tasty from where we're sat, with just a cup of tea and some crisps to keep us company. 

Thanks Dave and Olya, enjoy the show! Chin chin!

Australia are allowed to compete in Eurovision because Australian broadcaster SBS has shown the contest Down Under for more than 30 years.

They were invited to participate in 2015 when the contest turned 60 and have stuck around ever since, like a guest who comes to your party and ends up being your flatmate.

We haven't been celebrating diversity for a while, so this is a good time to mention that Isaiah Firebrace is the first indigenous male to represent Australia at Eurovision.

Isaiah has 11 brothers and sisters and has the most fabulous eyebrows. He also sings Don't Come Easy on a rotating platform, something he says requires a lot of balance and shoes with a decent grip.

Isaiah, just 17, had a bit of a vocal wobble during Tuesday's semi-final but still made it to the final along with nine other countries.  

So one of our readers has just logged on, and here's what he emailed us at entertainment.news@bbc.co.uk:

Don't take that horse's head away yet - we may need it for the next act.

Jacques Houdek is really big in Croatia. In fact, he's really big everywhere. And he has two voices - one for pop and one for opera.

They call him Mr Voice in his homeland, and not just because he's a mentor on The Voice. It's because he can sing a duet with himself, using different voices, alternating one line of My Friend at a time.

Luckily you only need one set of earplugs to get through it. This is how Jacques celebrated reaching the final earlier this week.
