Unfortunately, yes they did. It’s made of glass and it broke when they were crouching on stage after their victory, for their song The Code.
Nemo was holding the trophy in one hand and waving it at the audience, before putting it down, where it unfortunately appeared to fall over.
In the press conference afterwards, Nemo sat next to an intact trophy, to answer questions about the win.
They were asked: “The trophy is right in front of you, but there are already videos of you breaking it on stage. Did you actually break it?”
They responded: “I didn’t just break The Code, I also broke the trophy, I also broke my thumb (he then laughed).
“But I got a new one [trophy] – I technically have two now.”
Good job there was a spare one!
Nemo also spoke about what it was like winning, and about the diversity of this year’s contestants.
“I’m really grateful for this whole experience… one of the most queer representations we’ve seen at Eurovision, which is amazing and I wanna shout out all the other queer artists this year.”
