Duncan Laurence has achieved his first win of the night at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The Netherlands entry’s song Arcade has been named the Best Song by the press in the annual Marcel Bezençon Awards.
The Marcel Bezençon Award chooses the best song of the year in three categories – Press (voted for by accredited media in the host country), Artistic (voted for by the commentators) and Composer (voted by a jury of participating composers) – and this year, the press has honoured Duncan.
The 25-year-old shared a picture with his trophy to Instagram and wrote: ‘Whuuuut?! I just won a Marcel Bezençon Award for Best Song voted by the press! Thank you so much!’
The press haven’t given the Best Song award to the eventual winner since 2014, when they honoured Conchita Wurst and Rise Like A Phoenix.
