Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest entry, Bambie Thug, has celebrated making the finals of the competition by stripping off for a soak in the bath.
The singer, 31, whose real name is Bambie Robinson, delighted fans when their track Doomsday Blue bagged Ireland a place in the brilliantly bonkers show, which will be held in Sweden on Saturday. After hanging up their microphone for the night after the semi-finals on Tuesday, Bambie, who is non-binary, took to Instagram, telling fans how they had decided to celebrate.
Posting a snap of their thigh with an intriguing-looking tattoo adorning it, sticking out of the bath, the singer shared: "No I can't sleep. Having a Doomsday Blue bath."
Earlier in the evening, Bambie posed with Irish stars, Jedward, who tagged the photo: "Crown the witch". Desperate for the Emerald Isle to qualify for the competition after missing out on the last six Eurovision live finals, the 'goth witch' threw everything at their 2024 semi-final performance, leaving fans "speechless".
Bambie was fourth to grace the stage at the show on Tuesday- and wowed audiences across Europe with a spectacular lights show and dramatic costume change on set. 'Crown The Witch' was the cry from the crowd, as the lights faded on the spellbinding performance.
After Ireland finally landed a place in the final for the first time since 2018, fans flocked to X, formerly known asTwitter, congratulating Bambie. "I can't lie. I initially hated this song but Bambie has done their country so proud. We needed something drastically different for this to work."
"Crown the Witch!!!! They did it," another declared adding: "I can only focus on Ireland and How Good that performance was. Welcome to DUBLIN 2025 everyone."
After Ireland's previous Eurovision disappointment, Bambie promised they would "stand out" from the crowd when they took to the stage in Malmo, Sweden for the first semi-final. Ireland and Sweden have the most wins in Eurovision's history at seven each, ahead of the show being held in the Scandinavian country after Swedish singer Loreen triumphed with Tattoo.
Despite Ireland's previous success, Irish 2018 competitor Ryan O'Shaughnessy was the last to reach the final with Together, finishing in 16th position. Ireland has not won Eurovision since 1996 with Eimear Quinn's The Voice. Bambie previously told the PA news agency: "Ireland hasn't (got) into the final because the songs haven't been, I guess, standing out. And ours definitely does that this year so I would be very, very encouraging riots if I wasn't in the final."
When asked if they think they are going to show a different side to Irish music, the singer mused: "I would say that the thing about Ireland that runs through the Irish musicians, regardless of genre, is lyricism. Ireland is the land of poets, so lyrically, no, I think it a match so I think it just showcases that we're still awesome with words. And is it different from what we've (been) sending? Yes it is."
