Die-hard Eurovision fans are setting up for their annual watch parties ahead of the grand final tonight, despite calls for a boycott as the song contest is in crisis over political disputes.
The Eurovision Song Contest has been left in turmoil after a raft of major crises unraveled just hours before the grand final is due to start.
Ireland's entry Bambie Thug missed their final dress rehearsal after they said a 'situation' required 'urgent attention' from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), who are organising the event.
It came just hours after it was revealed Dutch contender Joost Klein has been axed from the contest after being quizzed by police over an incident involving 'a female member of the production crew'.
And France's entry Slimane has interrupted his own performance to say the contest should be: 'United by music, yes, but for love, for peace' to the rapturous cheers of the audience.
Meanwhile, outside the venue 15,000 pro Palestine protestors gathered in Malmö demanding Israeli contestant Eden Golan be kicked out of the final.
But none of this has deterred Eurovision's loyal fan base from going ahead with their watch
