  1. Who are Italy's winners Måneskin?

    The Eurovision website has a short profile of the winning band, and says they are vocalist Damiano, bassist Victoria, guitarist Thomas and Ethan on drums.

    It says they took their band name from the Danish word for moonlight, as a tribute to their bassist Victoria’s home country.

    Although they have known each other since middle school, they didn't form the band until 2015. They cite their musical influences as rock, rap, reggae, funk and pop.

    The group is already well established in Italy, releasing two singles and their first chart-topping studio album Il ballo della vita in 2018.

    Two years ago they sold out 66 gigs and with 140,000 tickets for shows in Italy and across Europe.

    The Eurovision website's page also has a translation of the winning song's lyrics, which has a chorus:

    I'm out of my mind, but different from them/ And you are out of your mind, but different from them/ We are out of our minds, but different from them.

  2. The UK is still waiting to score a point

    Switzerland are still back in the lead, followed by France and Italy. The UK is the only entry yet to score.

  3. Twitter reacts to James Newman having nul points

    His fans are not impressed with the voting so far... but as Graham Norton just said, everything could change with the public vote.
