Eurovision fans accuse co-host Mika of miming as he performed a hits medley on stage

Eurovision Song Contest host Mika sparked a social media row after viewers claimed he mimed his way through a hits medley on stage in Turin during the interval of the Grand Final, which was won by Ukraine.

The Beirut-born 38-year-old, formally known as Michael Holbrook Penniman Jnr, co-hosted the show with Alessandro Cattelan and Laura Pausini.

Taking to the stage as a performer himself, the chart topping star belted out his hits Love Today, Grace Kelly and Happy Ending, along with new single Yo-Yo, as the crowd cheered and sang along at the glitzy event.
