There are still several days to go until the Eurovision final in Switzerland, but the Swedish city of Malmö has already pre-emptively said it does not want to host the event again next year if the country’s hotly tipped sauna-themed entry wins this year’s contest.

The song – called Bara bada bastu (Just sauna) – is top of the streaming charts in Sweden and Finland on Spotify and is a favourite to win Saturday’s final in Basel.
