Mede, who is co-hosting Eurovision 2024 alongside actor Malin Akerman from Malmö, Sweden, was hilariously interrupted by notifications from the audience member’s Grindr app. Clearly, the person looking for a hook-up wasn’t aware their potential match was on live TV, because messages kept popping off over, and over, and over.
“I don’t know what that was, but anyway, download this Eurovision app,” Mede said, remaining professional.
She then spoke to the audience member, adding: “I’ll just give you the phone back.”
The contest normally had a huge LGBTQ+ following, and a section of last night’s broadcast immediately triggered some viewers to reach to check their phone.
Standing close to audience members in the Malmö Arena, co-presenter Petra Mede encouraged viewers to download the Eurovision app to cast their votes. She borrowed a phone from a man in the audience to demonstrate. As she did so, the all-too-distinctive noise of Grindr notifications coming through to his cell could be heard.
