A stage invader interrupted British singer SuRie's performance at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night.

The intruder snatched her microphone as she sang her entry Storm and said "All the Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom".

The incident left the 29=year-old without a microphone for at least ten seconds and she was forced to clap along as cameras cut to fans in the audience.

She later resumed her song and finished to rapturous applause.

After SuRie finished singing, host Graham Norton said: "She was doing a brilliant job anyway.

He later added: "We are still reeling, there was a stage invasion."

The intruder, dressed in a black and red bandana and slogan t-shirt promoting a book available on Amazon, was taken into police custody shortly after he was rushed off the stage by security guards after interrupting the performance.
