BBC hosts Rylan Clark and Scott Mills had to be saved by emergency services after being mobbed by Eurovision fans. The pair will host this evening's coverage of the Grand Final in Liverpool alongside Hannah Waddingham and other star names.
Rylan took to Instagram to document the chaos which took place last night. He revealed that he and Scott had gone out for dinner when mayhem ensued.
As reported by The Mirror, former X Factor star, 34, and the radio DJ, 50, were left stranded in Liverpool and unable to book a taxi. Luckily, Merseyside Water Rescue was on hand to safely get them to their hotel.

Rylan shared the events on his Instagram Stories, showing the pair wearing hi-vis jackets. In the video of the journey home, a disgruntled Scott can be heard saying: “This is ridiculous.”
Meanwhile, an amused Rylan explained exactly what had happened, revealing: “So basically there’s been no cars.” Scott then piped up: “Well we did leave dinner at the exact time when everyone was leaving the arena.”
Rylan continued the story, telling fans: "We didn’t realise the arena was kicking out at that point, well done everyone. And then Merseyside Water Rescue has just come to our aid and they put us on a boat but we couldn’t get out of the dock."
He then added: "So Merseyside Water Rescue has decided to take us back to our hotel, which I think is lovely and thank you for the high vis."
Rylan made sure to thank the rescue team after the drama. He shared a photo of himself, Scott and the Merseyside Water Rescue team in matching jackets with the caption: "Thanks to Merseyside Water Rescue for getting us home tonight. No cars….. you legends thanks for the hi vis x."
