But making perhaps the biggest splash of all during Eurovision week was the Australian singer Jessica Mauboy, who wowed the audience attending the Thursday semi-final at the B&W venue with her country’s ‘unofficial entry’.

She is pictured with (left-right) DR’s director-general Maria Rørbye Rønn; Michael Ebeid, the CEO of Australian broadcaster SBS; and Australian ambassador Damien Miller. 

And US ambassador Rufus Gifford (right) also popped by. Does this mean we might get an American entry next year?
