The ‘Eurovision Song Contest’ results have been corrected after a "human error".
The Belarusian jury was axed after revealing their votes from the first semi-final – which is against regulations – so a "substitute aggregated result" was calculated and approved based on "the results of other countries with similar voting records".
However, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has now revealed there was a mistake in the process despite voting monitor Ernst & Young previously approving the outcome.
The EBU said in a statement: "The EBU can confirm, following standard review practices, we have discovered that due to a human error an incorrect aggregated result was used.
"This had no impact on the calculation of points derived from televoting across the 41 participating countries and the overall winner and Top 4 songs of the Contest remain unchanged."
It means Netherlands champion Duncan Laurence remained top with 498 as opposed to 492, while Italy’s runner up Mahmood had six points more than their 465 total given on the night, and Russia’s entry Sergey Lazarev finished with 372 rather than 369.
The change in results is bad news for the UK’s Michael Rice, who had already found himself at the bottom of the rankings on the night after his song ‘Better Than Us’ earned just 16 points.
However, the scoreboard now looks even worse for Michael following the revised results as he only has a score of 11 points.
Commenting after his loss, Michael previously said: "I always knew I was going to come in this position because of Brexit."
And Michael believes even if the UK had been represented by an internationally-famous artist, they still would have come 26th out of 26 entries.
He added: "Do you know what? If it was Gary Barlow or Elton John, they still probably would have come last too."
