What happened during SuRie's Eurovision 2018 performance?
Eurovision fans were left in shock as an unidentified intruder burst on stage and grabbed the microphone from SuRie during her performance.
As the singer launched into her second chorus, the stage invader burst on stage and interrupted the song.
Understandably shocked by what had happened, SuRie looked confused as security wrestled with the invader and removed him from the stage.
Graham Norton said: "She was doing a brilliant job anyway, we’re not sure what is going to happen, whether will get an opportunity to perform again, I just don’t know."
The intruder was later reported to be in police custody.
