Ever wondered what the spokespersons do or say ahead of the live broadcaster during the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest? Official footage has been captured ahead of last week’s broadcast, let’s check it out!

During the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest, spokespersons from around the continent and beyond are preparing to hand out the results of their country’s national jury, ahead of the second half of the results which are presented by the hosts.

This year, a total of 43 spokespersons were present and ready to unveil the jury results of their own participating country, broadcasting their results from across the globe.

There’s always plenty of time to spare during the Grand Final broadcast, with the spokespersons waiting in their studio for the results to come in, waiting once again to then present the official jury results of their nation.
