It wouldn't be a Eurovision Song Contest without some commotion, but I think everybody can agree that this kind of behaviour is taking it too far.
To be fair to her, United Kingdom entrant SuRie was nailing her performance of 'Storm' when someone managed to break past security and invade the stage.
It got worse from there, as the invader seemed to seize SuRie's mic and audibly yell several words into it before he was taken down.
The singer, though visibly shaken, was given another mic and carried on with the performance, and managed to make it to the end without any slip-ups, which is to her immense credit. Whether or not that will affect the UK's final score when it comes to the voting remains to be seen.
It goes without saying that some British Eurovision fans are absolutely raging about the interruption. Others, likely not based in the UK, are taking a bit more joy in the misfortune.
Marty Whelan has confirmed that everybody is okay after the incident, but there are plenty on social media who believe that SuRie should be given a second chance to perform...
