Another year, another Eurovision Song Contest. It's been as glorious and bizarre as ever, with some truly terrific performances and others that didn't quite make the cut for fans – looking at you, ballads.

Now, voting is closed and the Eurovision 2022 winner has been crowned after a close vote, with Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra claiming the top spot.

Eurovision odds tipped Ukraine, Spain and the UK's very own Sam Ryder as favourites to win this year. It's not surprising, as all three acts definitely brought their A-game. Sam Ryder secured the UK second spot, while Spain came in third.

France also made a splash on social media, thought it failed to capture the public vote. And of course there was Norway duo Subwoolfer, who have yet to reveal the faces behind the wolf mask (many fans think A1 member Ben Adams is either Jim or Keith). Despite the mystery surrounding them, they came in tenth.

Sadly, Germany came last, managing to secure only six points.
