Eurovision shocker! Just moments after Nemo Mettler from Switzerland was crowned this year’s Eurovision champ, disaster struck – he broke the iconic Eurovision trophy live on air!
Trophy Tragedy in Malmo
The glitzy Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, was buzzing as 25 acts battled it out. Nemo stole the show with his gripping performance of ‘The Code’, balancing on a tipping metal disc. But the real drama came after his win.
Moment of Glory Turns Awkward
As the celebrations kicked off, Nemo grabbed the infamous glass microphone trophy to wave at fans and cameras. Attempting to stand using the fragile award for support, the trophy gave way and shattered before millions of stunned viewers.
The cringe-worthy moment came just after presenter Graham Norton teased: “Don’t break the trophy!” Oh, the irony.
Fans Hilariously React
- One fan tweeted: “When @GrahamNorton_01 tells you not to break the #Eurovision trophy – AND THEN YOU DO!!!”
- Another called it “iconic” – with the clink of glass perfectly timed with Graham’s warning.
- Social media lit up with jokes about Nemo “breaking the code… and the trophy!”
Nemo Responds to the Fumble
At the press conference, Nemo laughed off the mishap but admitted the experience was “intense, and not just pleasant all the way.” He added a heartfelt hope for Eurovision’s future: “I hope that Eurovision continues and can continue to stand for peace and unity.”
Broken trophy or not, the spirit of Eurovision stayed strong, reminding fans why they love the contest so much.
