Immediately after Nemo's victory was announced, Irish star Bambie Thug rushed over to give them a hug.

The pair have formed an intense bond in the run-up to the contest, as the only two non-binary artists to perform.

Nemo's song, in particular, was about their journey to accepting that non-binary status.

"Somewhere between the zeroes and the ones / That's where I found my kingdom come," they sing.

Their victory represents a big moment for the LGBTQ community which has, for a long time, treated Eurovision as a safe haven.

Last year's winner Loreen, who handed the crystal trophy to Nemo tonight, recently told me how important that support had been to her.

"Eurovision is a community that has an acceptance for diversity [and] different ways of being.

"t's a very accepting and loving space. And it's us who are creating it, through creativity."
