Eurovision viewers spot awkward blunder as men dressed in all-black are seen crawling off stage
EUROVISION viewers have taken to social media to point out the awkward live blunder – as stage hands crawled off stage.
Fans watching the show in Liverpool tonight took to Twitter to reveal the behind-the-scenes of France’s act not seen on TV.
French singer La Zarra took to the stage tonight as part of Eurovision‘s Grand Finale – performing her hit song Evidemment.
She took to the stage in an incredible black sparkling gown, which featured a skirt flowing down a platform behind her.
As La Zarra – real name Fatima-Zahra Hafdi – sang, the skirt was ripped away to reveal a smaller, slinkier dress showing off her figure.
For fans watching on TV, the seamless transition showed off the front of her gown as she was lowered down from the platform.
However, for those inside the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool watching live, the transition was not as flawless.
They took to social media to show off the moment two stage hands were seen crawling off in all-black bodysuits with the skirt.
The blunder saw the stage behind La Zarra lit up, showing the technicians ripping the skirt off from behind the platform.
They then ducked behind the singer before crawling off stage.
“What you can’t see during France’s performance, is the 2 stage hands completely covered in black who hide down the plinth’s fabric skirt,” one fan wrote of the moment on Twitter.
“If I was in charge of the France staging I’d have had dancers coming out the bottom of that big skirt. A missed opportunity,” a second joked.
“I was hoping there would be dancers under there,” a third said.
