This year's Eurovision Song Contest has got off to a rocky start, with press in Italy reporting that a 'broken' stage is causing concern amongst the acts and delegations.
While Eurovision 2022 won't get going properly until next week, with the semi-finals on Tuesday, May 10 and Thursday, May 12, before the grand final on Saturday, May 14., this year's contestants are setting foot onstage for their early rehearsals this week, to iron out any teething problems before performing in front of an audience.
This year's event will take place at the Pala Olimpico arena in Turin but, after Italy won the right to stage Eurovision following Mansekin's triumph in Rotterdam last year, things haven't gone entirely to plan for the host nation, with reports that the giant sun, the centre piece of this year's set, has malfunctioned.
