Eurovision fans were scratching their heads as they spotted a familiar face. As the results came in during the grand final hosted by the UK for Ukraine a famous face stood out to them.
Ben Adams from late 90s and early noughties pop band A1 appeared on screen to return the vote for Norway.
Viewers were left wondering why the singer had this role as he spoke to presenters Graham Norton and Hannah Waddingham.
Radio One presenter Dean McCullough asked: "What's Ben Adams off of A1 fame doing in Norway?"

Rosie cheered: "YES BEN ADAMS!!!" and a surprised Ciara Lawrence wrote: "Ben Adams from A1 I had a crush on him once years ago."
Ben already has a place in Eurovision history because he appeared at the contest last year as part of the British-Norwegian group Subwoolfer. Their song Give That Wolf A Banana gained a cult following.
The mystery of the people behind the masks garnered lots of attention. Then it was finally revealed to be Ben and Norwegian singer Gaute Ormåsen.
Tens of millions across the world tuned in to watch 26 acts and bands take to the stage at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena as they performed their hearts out in a bid to be crowned the Eurovision 2023 winner and walk away with the coveted trophy.
It was won by Loreen from Sweden.
The city is hosting on behalf of war-torn Ukraine, who won last year’s contest but are unable to host due to the Russian invasion. And the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest kicked off with a skit featuring last year’s winners Kalush Orchestra performing their hit Stefania with runner-up Sam Ryder playing guitar on the top of the Liver Building and Andrew Lloyd Webber on piano.
There was also a cameo from the Princess of Wales who made an appearance after she was recorded playing the piano earlier this month at Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace said. Viewers saw Kate playing a short instrumental piece lasting around 10 seconds.
