But the jury vote for Belarus was not counted in this result after officials revealed who they had voted for during the first semi-final on Tuesday.

Valeri Prigun, the chair of the Belarussian jury, spoke to publication tut.by on Tuesday to disclose how the jury had voted “almost unanimously.”

He also said that he liked Estonia, Czech Republic and Georgia, while other just members said they voted down Iceland and gave their highest marks to Australia.

This revelation did their own country's result no favours, as teen sensation Zena came in second last place - just above the UK.

Jury votes count for 50 per cent of each country’s final score in the grand song contest final.

The Eurovision press team confirmed: “The Belarussian jury voting has been revealed in an interview contravening Eurovision Song Contest rules.

“In order to be compliant with the ESC voting regulations, the EBU has taken action and has dismissed the Belarussian jury from the Grand Final on Saturday.

“An aggregated result approved by the auditors will be used in order to determine to whom the Belarussian votes will be allocated.”

The Netherlands emerged as the winners of Eurovision with a whopping 492 points.

Singer Duncan Laurence beamed with pride as he accepted the Eurovision trophy from previous year's winner, Netta.

Asked to give a message to the voting public, Netherlands native Duncan gushed: "This is to dreaming big."

Duncan's win marks the first time that The Netherlands have been victorious at the Eurovision Song Contest since 1975.

Sending his thoughts to UK contender Michael, Graham Norton said: "I hope he's not upset because he did all he could tonight, he really did.

Graham continued: "Our hearts go out to Michael and the whole team who worked so, so hard on the competition this year. You can't fault his performance tonight and he absolutely did not deserve that result.

"It was really unfair, and I hope he's OK... He's got his mum and his Nan here, and we will all go and give him a hug later on."

Another voting shock came when Germany received ZERO points from the voting public, leaving them in third-to-last position.
