EUROVISION viewers were left gobsmacked this evening as Finland’s entry took to the stage for a very raunchy performance.

Erika Vikman wowed wearing a plunging leather leotard as she belted out the tongue-in-cheek Ich Komme, which when translated has a rather x-rated meaning.

In keeping with the raunchy nature of the track, Erika pulled off some very sexy moves before finishing her song  by taking off on a giant microphone with sparks flying.

Those watching the Eurovision Song Contest at home rushed to comment, with one person remarking: “The straight men will like Finland - didn't know the adult channels were on at 9pm.”

A second questioned: “Is Finland sponsored by Ann Summers?”

While another person remarked: “Finland with the dominatrix outfit.”

And someone else said: “Sorry Finland, it's a no. The outfit just doesn't work for me, off-putting.”

The UK's entry  Remember Monday have already performed - sparking mixed reactions with viewers. 

The trio, made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, are singing their song What The Hell Just Happened?, dressed in colourful Bridgerton-style outfits.

Earlier, 2024 Swiss winner Nemo returned to the Eurovision stage to do a rendition of The Code in a full-length white dress, following an opening sketch which saw a Mission Impossible-style segment to find the trophy, before it was delivered to the hosts.

The winner will be determined by viewer votes in the participating 26 countries, which have already begun, and juries made up of the music industry.

The rest of the world also had a poll, which will count the same as a country, and the verdict of TV viewers will be added to the combination of points from national juries.

The UK's national jury votes are set to be announced by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor after Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa pulled out of being the British Eurovision spokesperson due to "unforeseen circumstances".
