After watching Conchita Wurst perform on Monday, viewers of the National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome event were left with goosebumps. Conchita, a German singer, won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 with her song Rise Like a Phoenix. On Sunday, she returned to the stage in Liverpool for the welcome concert, ahead of her final on Saturday, with her winning song being broadcast on BBC One.

She appeared in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993 and came in second place. And Sonia appeared to be nothing short of spectacular on Sunday as she arrived on the red carpet at the National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome celebration in her hometown of Liverpool.

On Sunday afternoon, the Turquoise Carpet Ceremony began in the city, which is about to host the song contest final next Saturday on behalf of last year's winners, Ukraine. The ceremony, hosted by Olympian Sam Quek and Ukrainian presenter Timur Miroshnychenko, will see all 37 acts perform for a welcome to the city.

Elton John sent fans in the early hours of Thursday morning as he posted a snapshot of his star-studded dinner guests on Instagram. As they posed alongside Dua Lipa, Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears, and the cast of Heartstopper, the pop sensation, 75, and his partner David Furnish, 60, made an impressive photograph. Elton simply wrote: 'Epic dinner', captioning the snap, which was posted on both his and David's pages.'

PATRICK MARMION: I said a little prayer after nearly three hours spent being witness to the Elton John musical about American television evangelist and gay icon Tammy Faye Messner. I wished that next time I see a musical about Tammy Faye, where I might learn more about the woman behind the long hair and extra thick mascara. The Almeida's latest film, unfortunately, is best described as an ecstatic but otherwise unholy amalgamation of TV's Strictly and Songs Of Praise.
