WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

Australia’s Go-Jo (Marty Zambotto) has taken to the stage in the second semi-final of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, with the tongue-in-cheek Milkshake Man, but has missed out on qualifying for the grand final.

He was the first to perform on Thursday night, and is the tenth musical act to represent Australia at the world’s most popular singing contest.

Appearing to echo 1960s TV advertisements, Go-Jo started with a segment promoting a blender, before going into a cubicle to transform into a blue sparkly jumpsuit, which saw a part of it dramatically taken off.

Commentators Courtney Act and Tony Armstrong said they were “disappointed” for Go-Jo after seeing how much work he had put in.

Several people in the audience were seen waving Australian flags.

Earlier, protesters “disrupted” Israeli singer Yuval Raphael’s rehearsal for the semi-final, organisers said.

The singer, 24, was performing New Day Will Rise during the preview show on Thursday night when six people with “oversized flags and whistles” obstructed her act.

The group was quickly ejected from the St Jakobshalle arena.

A spokeswoman for SRG SSR said: “During the dress rehearsal for the second semi-final of the ESC this afternoon, the performance of Israeli singer Yuval Raphael was disrupted.

“Six people, including a family, disrupted the rehearsal with oversized flags and whistles.

“Security personnel were able to quickly identify those involved and escort them out of the hall.

The Eurovision grand final will take place at 5am AEST on Sunday.
