In 2018, SuRie, 35, appeared at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, with her signature cropped blonde hairstyle and fresh-faced look.
The Harlow-born star donned a white sleeveless jumpsuit for her once-in-a-lifetime gig.
Yet Eurovision fans were swiftly left in shock as a stage invader burst onto the platform grabbed the microphone from SuRie.

Stage shock
At the time, of the incident the BBC's Eurovision Graham Norton was quick to praise SuRie.
He said: "She was doing a brilliant job anyway, we’re not sure what is going to happen, whether will get an opportunity to perform again, I just don’t know."
Fans were then left infuriated after she failed to win over the voters or judges - despite bravely continuing to sing.
Those watching at home were really disappointed with the lack of support and took to social media site X to blast the outcome, which ultimately saw Israel win.
Many believed SuRie should have been given the chance to sing again.
At the time, one person wrote: “What happened to the sympathy vote for the stage invasion??? #travesty #Eurovision.”
A second added: “This is so unfair on the UK entry, she sang so well but we are so hated.”
