    We’re looking fabulous in our sequins, and our snacks are lined up, so we’re officially ready for the big night.Our music correspondent Mark Savage (also possibly wearing something sparkly) will be sending live updates from the Malmo Arena.

    He’ll be in a press room full of journalists dancing on the tables - if it’s anything like last year in Liverpool.

    We’ll be posting live updates right throughout the contest, with all the latest information and analysis.
