Who won Eurovision 2021? Winner, full results and where UK finished

Eurovision 2021 has come to an end and the winner has been revealed as Italy.

There were classic Eurovision moments throughout, not least when Germany blew people's minds with Jendrick and a dancing hand flipping its middle finger to millions of viewers. That was followed immediately by a dark metal effort from Finland.

The singing competition returned with 26 countries after being cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Twenty countries advanced to the grand final following Tuesday and Thursday's semi-final. They joined the big five, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom, along with this year's host, the Netherlands.
