Sweden win Eurovision 2015 with "Heroes" - VIDEO

Sweden has been announced as the winner of this year`s Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.

Mans Zelmerlow performed "Heroes" in the Austrian capital after being the bookies` favourite for much of the run-up before going on to win an impressive 365 points.

The 28-year-old, best known for taking part in Idol 2005, cruised through Thursday`s semi-final despite some controversy over anti-gay comments he apologised for last year.

Trans singer Conchita Wurst won last year`s contest with her memorable long black hair and beard and powerful singing voice. "Rise Like a Phoenix" was praised as Bond-like and rocketed Conchita to global LGBT icon status.
