Mae looked in great spirits as she took to the stage at the Eurovision rehearsals on Friday morning ahead of the live final.

The UK’s entry was quite literally flying the flag for her country as she skipped around while wrapped in the Union Jack.

Mae, who had been struggling with her voice and was put on vocal rest this week, looked back to her best as she practiced her performance.

Speaking about feeling under pressure the songstress said: ‘Sam Ryder winning, is hosting on behalf of Ukraine, going last’.

‘They’re all things I could get freaked out about. But they’re amazing experiences so I’m gonna look at them in a positive way. I can’t wait to get out here, it’s exciting’.

Discussing Liverpool hosting on behalf of war torn Ukraine she said: ‘Eurovision is proof that us as human beings can come together and no matter what the outcome tomorrow night, I will look back on this with such a sense of pride.’

Mae looked incredible in a black jumpsuit complete with a sheer bodice and a pair of heeled boots.

She wore her raven tresses in loose beachy waves and opted for a light covering of make-up.

Mae was joined on stage by a choreographer who was seen giving her direction as she rehearsed for the upcoming performance.

Discussing her entry Mae said: ‘I wrote the song a few days before I knew about Eurovision’.

She continued: ‘So I revisited the song and I put my Eurovision hat and thought it’s a way to connect with the audience. How can I make an intimate moment with 200 million people and that’s how’.

And speaking about herself an as LGBTQ ally she went on to say: ‘Every show every tour I want it to feel like a safe space and I feel like that’s what Eurovision is. I go to gay bars and gay clubs all the time and I have huge amounts of fun so it’s only right I return the favour’.

It comes after Mae’s performance in the upcoming Eurovision 2023 grand final appeared to be under threat.

Mae had been forced to go on voice rest by her vocal coach following this week’s dress rehearsals.

Updating her fans on Twitter on Wednesday, Mae shared a photo of herself wearing a ‘vocal rest’ sign around her neck.

Looking disappointed with the news she explained: ‘As someone who can not stfu if their life depended on it i’m not doing well x.’

‘My vocal coach literally had to make me wear a sign to make me shut up I am so embarrassed omg.’

In a change to the rules this year, the decision of who goes through is entirely down to the public, with national juries being able to have their say during the final on Saturday.

The ten acts who made through Tuesday were; Croatia, Moldova, Switzerland, Finland, Czechia, Israel, Sweden, Serbia, Portugal and Norway.

After crashing out, Ireland’s Eurovision 2023 act Wild Youth slammed the contest in a furious post after they failed to land a spot in Saturday’s final.

The group were one of five acts who were eliminated in Tuesday’s semi-final after performing their song We Are One.

In a now-deleted post, the band’s frontman Conor O’Donohoe took to Instagram to claim their country ‘were never given a chance,’ with a screenshot of the caption later shared by a fan on Twitter.

He wrote: ‘We did everything we could. Michael Kealy [RTE’s Eurovision Head of Delegation] was amazing. But the truth is they never give Ireland a chance. Sorry if we let you down, we tried our best.’
