Renowned for its wackiness and unique performances, the Eurovision Song Contest is a show that gets Europe - and Australia - talking. Now, online gaming site MobileSlots.com have asked participants to name what they can recall always happening when they watch the annual event.

Poking fun at the performances, presenters and the UK's outrageous host Graham Norton, the list also takes into account the tactical voting from some countries with Greece and Cyprus as one of many who famously club together for the contest.

"It's all in good humour to poke fun of the political voting and bizarre performances because that's what Eurovision is all about."

The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final takes place tonight and can be watched on BBC One from 8pm.
