The table that hosts Hannah and Julia will be stood behind to reveal who has qualified has been wheeled on the stage.

The results must be coming soon.

There seems to be calm, for now, amongst the participants.

They’re all dancing and singing along to the Spanish, Ukrainian and UK’s previews we’re being treated to.

I think the difference between the two semi-finals has been quite remarkable tonight.

There wasn't much in this semi-final that could do anything in the final on Saturday.

If I have to say someone, then I think the winner from tonight's semi-final will be Australia.

But really, none of the artists are better than 2+ in my world. I think it's going to be all about the first semi-final participants and the big five this year.

We’re about to see clips of the Spanish, Ukrainian and UK acts, who all qualify automatically for Saturday’s Grand Final and, as such, don’t get to perform tonight.

Spain is up first: They’re sending flamenco artist Blanca Paloma, whose rich, polyrhythmic song is a tribute to her grandmother.

The staging is beautiful - even if she looks like she’s stuck inside a 1970s lampshade - and her vocals are on point.

Ukraine’s Tvorchi are just as powerful. Their song, Heart Of Steel, was written after watching videos of the siege of Azovstal, taking inspiration from the armed forces and civilians who defended the town's steel works.

Stark and sobering, it’s expected to do well in the public vote. Finally, Mae Muller showcases her witty, sardonic track I Wrote A Song with a dance-centric performance that starts on giant LED boxes, before she parades down the catwalk en route to a stunning high note. You’ll have to wait until Saturday to hear that part, though!

Here's a film of some local children looking round the arena where the contest is held.

They get to explore behind the scenes and "slay all day" in some fancy Eurovision outfits, and the Eurovision trophy is also handed over to them, briefly!

The first semi-final was easier to predict who would go through because it had a lot more fan favourites.

Tonight, it could be anyone’s game, I’ll be shocked if Belgium, Austria and Australia don’t make it through, though.

I have various WhatsApp groups open and it seems Lithuania and Slovenia are favourites as well.

But the results tonight could actually be more exciting than Tuesday because nobody can be sure what will happen!

What a show we've witnessed so far!

Soon we'll know who's through to Saturday's Grand Final - we can't wait for the result.

Stay with us on this page, and we'll let you know who makes it through.

"The party is open for everyone," remarks co-host Rylan Clark in response to the drag show we've just witnessed.

Here are a few words from another Eurovision enthusiasts I encountered in the fanzone while the performances were happening a short while ago.

Suzie from Sydney watched Voyager and says she was so excited to see her country in the semi-final.

She explained to me how she’d “travel the world for Eurovision”.

I asked her about Australia’s chance in the semi-finals, she thinks they could win. Suzie is dressed head to toe in a red suit and dancing around to Voyager’s track with pride.

Some more thoughts from our Eurovision superfans now.

Austria's Teya and Saelna's earworm Who the Hell is Edgar went down a storm where our Matthew is.

"I’m in a hotel bar in Liverpool and the entire bar starting shouting 'POE POE POE POE POE' - absolutely electric!" he said.

Nicolaas said he wants to see Albania in the final.

Maria was also a fan of Albania's folk-style entry.

"I’m such a fan of these folk vibes on Eurovision Albania had such a brilliant show," she said.

Alina said Lithuania's entry had an "amazing voice and performance!"

There’s now a Queen Machine on stage. Hannah Waddingham obviously can’t resist going in and is then reincarnated as a drag queen! Clue - it’s not really her.

Three real queens - Miss Demeanour, Mercedes Benz and Tomara Thomas - get to work. “Do we have your attention?” Oh yes! The trio are joined by a huge troupe of silver-clad dancers as Free Yourself by Jessie Ware is pumped out around the arena.

En Vogue’s Free Your Mind is up next as even more dancers join the throng.“Eurovision is the place for everyone!” And as Rozalla’s Free gets an airing, to the delight of the audience, the silver-clad dancers suddenly morph into beautiful butterflies with a myriad of rainbow-coloured wings! It’s a real wow moment.

Our group of Eurovision fans were excited to see Peppa Pig make an appearance.

"Where did Peppa Pig come from?", Matthew said.

Nicholaas said his votes are with Estonia, Slovenia, Greece, Georgia and Austria.

Svai was a big fan of Australia's performance and is voting for Voyager.

"Australia has brought an amazing banging performance. I love them so much, and their energy is amazing. Voting for them so much tonight!!!" Svai said.

Here at the Eurovision Village, fans have been watching the performances intently. There's a great atmosphere.

Katrine Haugaard is flying the flag for Denmark's Reiley with Breaking My Heart. She tells me: "It was great to see Reiley, because he really showed what he's made of.

"He really elevated the stage show."

But despite her delight, she says she is unsure he will make it to the final due to the other acts - and his position performing first.

Supporting Belgium's Gustaph with his 90s house-style banger was Eddie Tran.

"The performance was amazing," he tells me. "The staging, the dancers, the performance. I think Gustaph can go to the finals."

And Slovenia's rockers Joker Out proved to be a crowd favourite, inspiring energetic flag flying and jumping up and down.

One of those cheering on Austria's Teya and Salena was Misa Nesic.

It was even more special for him because Teya is his cousin.

He says: "It was pretty emotional because we're not watching Austria here, we are watching our cousin.

"We have been playing the song 100 times at home."

Their track Who The Hell Is Edgar? certainly got the crowd going. Poe poe poe poe poe!

It has to be said, it's more subdued in here tonight than it was for Tuesday's semi-final.

Austria's Teya and Salena got the biggest reaction tonight for Who the Hell is Edgar?

But this didn't match the whoops on Tuesday for Finland's Käärijä and Sweden's former winner Loreen.

We'll see them all battle it out at Saturday's grand final - watch this space...

We've just heard more from co-host Hannah Waddingham - who has quickly become a fan favourite.

Waddingham has been a leading lady on stage for more than two decades and found wider fame thanks to TV shows Game of Thrones, Ted Lasso and Sex Education.

She can now add "Eurovision icon" to her CV.

The English actress is co-hosting the contest's semi-finals with British presenter Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Salina.

While they have all been excellent so far, Waddingham in particular has earned rave reviews, and her appearances have capped her elevation to A-list status.

A warm greeting from childhood for all Ukrainian fans. We just heard songs that everyone in Ukraine knows, and my soul gently weeps. It was amazing to hear Shchedryk, which is known abroad as Carol of the Bells.

The song has more than 100 years of history. A lot of people don't know that it's Ukrainian. And here, at Eurovision, we are talking about Ukrainian culture. This is our diplomatic mission. Music can speak for our country.

"It's very cool and very powerful", we were told in advance by Herman Nenov, creative director from Ukraine at this year's Eurovision.

I was also very impressed by the rap-based on the lyrics of the most famous Ukrainian poet, Taras Shevchenko. No-one has ever heard him like that. Maria Yaremchuk, OTOY, Zlata Dzyunka - you are cool!
