EUROVISION hopeful Stefania prepares to face off against her rivals — with a group of anonymous backing dancers who look like Jim Carrey’s The Mask.

Greek Stefania, 18, was pictured at her last rehearsal before last night’s final.

The contest returned to our screens after the pandemic forced last year’s competition to be scrapped — the first cancellation since it began in 1956.

Stefania was a 100/1 shot with her tune Last Dance.

Italian act Maneskin was the favourite ahead of the show with Ladbrokes giving odds of 3/1 on his song Zitti E Buoni winning.

France’s Barbara Pravi was also a 3/1 shot with Voila.

The results of the UK jury’s vote were delivered by Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden live from London.

Britain’s entry saw 100/1 shot James Newman, 35, perform Embers to 3,500 fans in Rot­terdam in Holland.

Katrina And The Waves were the last Brits to win the Eurovision trophy when they won in 1997 with Love Shine A Light.
