Netherlands singer disqualified from Eurovision over reported 'incident'

This comes after Joost Klein, the representative from the Netherlands was disqualified from this evening's Eurovision competition.

In a statement, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said: "Swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female member of the production crew after an incident following his performance in Thursday night’s Semi Final.

"While the legal process takes its course, it would not be appropriate for him to continue in the Contest.

"We would like to make it clear that, contrary to some media reports and social media speculation, this incident did not involve any other performer or delegation member."
