READ MORE:Rylan Clark appears to have skipped his elevator interview with Israel's Eurovision entry Eden Golan.
While it is unclear why Rylan was not present for the interview, fans on social media have speculated the host may have been making a political statement.When it came time for Eden's elevator interview, Rylan was nowhere to be seen and she instead answered questions from an automated voice Golan made it through to the final following a public vote after thousands of protestors demonstrated in Malmo calling for her to be excluded from the competition.
Rylan, who is part of fronting the BBC 's Eurovision coverage, has been interviewing the contestants in an elevator for the contest's TikTok page The prediction was correct, with as many as 5,000 people taking to the city's streets today, including the young Swede - who was pictured wearing a keffiyeh, a black and white shawl commonly used to show support for Palestine, around her body in the centre of the crowd within a sea of Palestinian flags.
Other banners displayed messages including 'welcome to Genocide song contest' and 'stop using Eurovision to whitewash Israeli crimes'. Despite the fears over her safety, Ms Golan says she has received a lot of support and hasn't seen any negative comments about her previous song October Rain. It was only after an intervention by the country's President Isaac Herzog, who called for the 'necessary adjustments', that it relented.She said: 'I was shocked and confused. But when they said we had to change the lyrics, I said: 'Let's do everything possible to make it happen.'
