Eurovision fans have accused the song contest of rigging the result to allow Sweden to win.
Viewers claim that organisers orchestrated Loreen's victory so that Sweden would host next year coinciding with the 50th anniversary of ABBA's win.
Each of the 26 acts fought to get their hands on the coveted glass microphone trophy, but it was Sweden who stormed to victory, with their act Loreen making history as the first woman to win the competition twice.
But not all were in agreement that Sweden deserved first place and speculated that the competition had been fixed.
One person said: 'Look I'm not saying it's rigged but... Sweden winning the year before the anniversary of ABBA's win seems entirely too convenient to me'.
