Sweden's Sanna Nielsen finished third at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night, with a bearded "lady" finishing first.
Sanna Nielsen, 29, finished third in the contest with her ballad Undo.
The star of the night, however, was undoubtedly Conchita Wurst from Austria - a 25-year-old cross-dressing bearded man in a dress who took the majority of the votes with her Bond-esque song Rise Like A Phoenix.
Second place went to the Netherlands, followed by Sanna Nielsen in third.
Ten Stockholmers share their thoughts about Sanna
"To get to showcase Undo for a bigger audience in Europe is really exciting. It's a huge honour. It's amazing to be chosen to represent your country like this," Nielsen told The Local on Friday.
