Who won Eurovision in 2021 and why they had to do a drug test after the final

Last year the Eurovision Song Contest was won by Italian rockers Måneskin with their track Zitti E Buoni and they climbed to the top of the table gaining 524 points. The group are singer Damiano David, guitarist Victoria De Angelis, musician Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio and they shot to fame on the Italian X Factor.

They've gone on to appear on Saturday Night Live and Tonight With Jimmy Fallon over in the US and have sold out shows across the UK and US, including at the O2 Academy Islington in London. But their victory on the night in Rotterdam in 2021 was slightly overshadowed by a clip of singer Damiano David very briefly lowering his head towards the table, behind a bucket of drinks, and speculation he was taking cocaine quickly spread on social media.
