IRELAND has missed out on the Eurovision Song Contest final despite Lesley Roy giving an energetic performance of her song Maps in the first semi-final.
Singing in bare feet to rapturous applause, Roy appeared alongside an elaborate backdrop of moving paper cut-outs.
However, it was not enough to secure her place, with Norway, Israel, Russia, Azerbaijan, Malta, Lithuania, Cyprus, Sweden, Belgium, and Ukraine triumphing in the 16-strong line-up.
During the BBC Four coverage, UK entry James Newman appeared in a spoof Line Of Duty sketch featuring presenters Scott Mills, Rylan Clark-Neal and Chelcee Grimes.
