Petra Mede makes an unexpected entrance in the Eurovision semifinal in Basel. The Swedish host suddenly appears in the interval act at the end of the semifinal, something that has been kept secret until the dress rehearsal on Monday.

It is under a number in the interval act with the Swiss hosts Michelle Hunziker and Sandra Studer, which reminds not so little of the interval acts Sweden has been talked about in Eurovision contexts, that Mede reveals himself in the role of Wilhelm Tell.

No explanation or presentation of the Swedish host is given, but since Mede has hosted Eurovision Song Contest three times, it is perhaps not needed either.

Sweden's hope KAJ is a favourite tip and is naturally expected to advance from the semifinal on Tuesday. In the arena, they were met with great applause from the audience both before and after performing "Bara bada bastu" and it was noticed that they are pre-favourites among the fans.
