Eurovision fans across UK were left gutted after the Mae Muller came second to last. The only country to receive less points was Germany. Sweden's Loreen took the top spot for the second time in her career.

She added: "Congrats to all the countries. I'll never forget this journey and I love you all." Mae ended the host with a heart emoji.
