Bulgaria has won this year’s Eurovision contest with their performance of Bangaranga, receiving more than 500 points.
Australia’s Delta Goodrem came in fourth with her song Eclipse.
Have a read of all the action from the performances to the judging and the final results, as it happened.
I am sad that another year of Eurovision is over but also glad that I can now go home to sleep, knowing that Delta Goodrem placed in an incredible fourth spot.
I know we were all feeling the hope but Goodrem brought top-class professionalism, confidence and a 10/10 performance to the final. She is a true queen and star.

Goodrem received a pat on the back from the country’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, shortly after the results landed.
“Well done, Delta Goodrem. You did Australia proud,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Goodrem in all her golden glory.
In the end, the winner’s trophy landed in the hands of Bulgaria’s Dara with her smash song Bangaranga — she got 516 points overall.
It’s a song that gets you dancing and it certainly got the whole arena in the mood.
And that’s where we will leave you. Thanks for joining Rudi and I on the ABC’s live blog and see you next time in Bulgaria!

That’s it, Eurovision is done and dusted for another year, with next year’s competition taking us to the Balkans following Bulgaria’s victory.
The results this year were a nail-biter following the jury votes, with our Delta nipping at their heels in second place before the audience bumped us off the podium.
