Read our privacy policy Ireland have failed to make it through to the Eurovision Grand Final after Brooke Scullion’s performance of pop break-up track That’s Rich did not make the cut. In classic Eurovision style, the second semi-final featured a number of quirky performances including Serbia’s Konstrakta – who won over the audience with her peculiar song about Meghan Markle, securing herself a place in the top 10. Despite Australia’s representative Sheldon Riley’s diamante face covering helping him to win a place in the final, unique looks did not help Georgia’s Circus Mircus – who failed secure a top-10 place with their extravagant facial hair and accessories. Operatic pop group Il Volo, who represented Italy at Eurovision in 2015, also performed, however one of the trio’s members Gianluca Ginoble was absent due to illness and featured only on the stage’s screens.
