Austria's JJ wins Eurovision song contest

The win was Austria's third in the competition, following Conchita's success in 2014 and Udo Juergens' victory in 1966.

JJ beat 25 other competitors during the grand final in the Swiss city of Basel.

Thirty-seven countries sent performers to this year's Eurovision. 

Eleven were knocked out by public voting in semifinals, including Australia's Go-Jo (Marty Zambotto), with his tongue-in-cheek Milkshake Man.
