Eurovision champion Loreen has joked she would love to move to Liverpool after her historic win in the city on Saturday. 

The Swedish songstress, 39, who became the first woman to take home the trophy  twice, gushed she ‘loved’ Merseyside before praising the local’s ‘creativity’ and ‘trendsetting’.

She joked to The Sun: ‘I’m like, “My God, I need to get the f*** out of Sweden”.’ 

Loreen then went on to admit she had genuinely thought about about a move to Blighty and despite having visited numerous times, her latest award-winning visit made the option a real possibility. 

Elsewhere she told the publication how she almost flashed the city’s M&S Arena audience as well as the 180M viewers at home during her performance.

Loreen explained her futuristic and skin-tight trousers split minutes after she came off the famous stage and had wowed with her very physical routine. 

Admitting: ‘I think it must have been the glute exercises I was doing’.

‘I was so high on adrenaline that I walked the corridors after and I was like, “It feels so cool”, then I saw my pants’.

However luckily her stylist had another pair in which she slipped into before she was crowned winner.

It comes after Eurovision fans have accused the Song Contest of rigging the result to allow Sweden to win.

Viewers claim that organisers orchestrated Loreen’s victory so that Sweden would host next year coinciding with the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s win.

One person said: ‘Look I’m not saying it’s rigged but… Sweden winning the year before the anniversary of ABBA’s win seems entirely too convenient to me’.

A second tweeted: ‘No way they rigged the entire thing so Sweden can host it on the 50 year anniv of ABBA’s win bro. I’m SALTY’.

A third echoed: ‘this whole ABBA anniversary and Sweden winning seems a bit too coincidental to me idk’.

A fourth agreed, writing: ‘I’m not a conspiracy theorist but the idea that this was rigged so Sweden can host on the fiftieth anniversary of the Abba win makes lots of sense right now.’

While a fifth added: ‘I’m loving the instant conspiracy theory that #EUROVISION2023 was rigged so that next year could be in Sweden for the 50th Anniversary of ABBA & Waterloo.’

And a sixth penned: ‘they wanted sweden to win so ABBA perform their 50th eurovision anniversary in sweden next year’. 

Swedish group ABBA entered into the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo and Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Anni-Frid were catapulted into stardom after winning.

2024 marks exactly 50 years since their decisive victory, with many expecting the group to perform at next year’s contest.

Sweden was hit by more fix accusations after fans also spotted that Loreen’s microphone had been left on.

One fan said: ‘Did they already give Loreen the head mic for her performance? Or is this just for the interview, do they normally double-mic people?

Fixed? Eurovision fans have accused the song contest of rigging the result to allow Sweden to win

Hopes: A source said: 'After Sweden won, people are going to be putting their Money, Money, Money on an ABBA reunion'

On Saturday night, Loreen won with a staggering 583 points, followed closely by Finland. Ukraine meanwhile scored an impressive 243 points after rocketing up the leaderboard thanks to the public vote.

But the UK’s Mae Muller looked crestfallen as the scores for her performance were read out, and she ended the night with just 24 points despite being among the top ten favourites going in. 

Liverpool hosted the competition on behalf of war-torn Ukraine, which won the contest last year, and fans around the UK proudly showed their support for both countries. 

Eurovision fans went wild for hosts Graham Norton, Hannah Waddingham, Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian rock star Julia Sanina.

Hannah Waddingham was forced to calm booing crowds in Liverpool, reminding them that everyone was ‘friends’ as it was revealed that the UK entry received just a handful of points in the public vote.

Following the individual country jury votes, Sweden were on top with 277 points, and they topped the leaderboard again when the public vote came through.
