Rylan Clark appears to skip interview with Israeli Eurovision singer Eden Golan as she defies pro-Palestinian protestors by making the final


The TV presenter, 35, who is part of fronting the BBC's Eurovision coverage, has been interviewing the contestants in an elevator for the contest's TikTok page.

The prediction was correct, with as many as 5,000 people taking to the city's streets today, including the young Swede - who was pictured wearing a keffiyeh, a black and white shawl commonly used to show support for Palestine, around her body in the centre of the crowd within a sea of Palestinian flags. During the demonstrations, smoke canisters in the colours of the Palestinian flag were set off and protesters, some of whom have dogs, young children and bicycles with them, were carrying signs displaying images of Gaza civilians who have been injured amid the Hamas-Israel conflict. Thursday's semi-final is due to begin at 1900 GMT and will also feature contestants from Malta, Albania, Greece, the Czech Republic, Austria, Denmark, Armenia, Latvia, San Marino, Georgia, Belgium, Estonia and Norway.
