Mel Giedroyc had viewers demanding she "won Eurovision " with her hilarious scene stealing moment during the Grand Final.
The comedian and presenter, 54, left fans "crying with laughter" as she poked fun at a previous Eurovision contestant.
During host Hannah Waddingham's segment where she was discussing the upcoming acts, the former Great British Bake Off presenter was seen in the background donning a full lederhosen while churning some butter slightly erotically.
Presenter Graham Norton, who was doing his usual commentary, couldn’t help but joke Mel was “literally, milking it”.
He attempted to stifle his laughter, before claiming Mel resembled a former First Lady of the United States - Melania Trump.
