Ukraine win hearts with Jamiroquai look-alike rap act as Eurovision fans demand that they win

Ukraine is the frontrunner to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and fans tuning in for the final were bowled over after watching their act. The war-torn nation is favourite to win Eurovision 2022 along with the UK entry Sam Ryder with his belter of a song Space Man.

Viewers were charmed by the band Kalush Orchestra's rousing performance of Stefania, with many showing the love for the rapper who reminded them of the nineties funk band Jamiroquai fronted by Stretford-born singer Jay Kay.

The Virtual Insanity singer was known for his love of statement hats. And Kalush Orchestra added a pop of colour with a fluffy pink bucket hat. @itsnickcharles tweeted: "UKRAINE out here giving us culture with Jamiroquai #Eurovision."
