Eurovision winner Nemo backs calls for Israel to be excluded from this year's contest

The Code singer has spoken out about some of the controversies surrounding this year's event – including the "stupid as f**k" new rules around Pride flags.

Nemo later supplied HuffPost UK with an additional statement, which read: “I support the call for Israel’s exclusion from the Eurovision Song Contest. Their response continued: “As a reminder, the EBU is an association of public service broadcasters, not governments, who are all eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest every year if they meet the requisite requirements. “You can’t be known for like the queerest thing in the world, basically, a contest that has been associated with queerness and gay culture for so long, and then be like, ‘oh, we don’t allow Pride flags for the artists’.
