Hands up if you think this Eurovision sign language interpreter was the real winner
You may remember British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter Clare Edwards – Purple_Terp – from the King‘s Coronation Concert, when she upstaged Lionel Richie with her very expressive signing.
Here’s a reminder.

For some watching Eurovision on Saturday, she stole the show again, and this is how.

We don’t know much about BSL, but we know when somebody really enjoys their job and is excellent at it – and so did these people.

Signing at that speed must be a real challenge.

This is mostly all I watched of Eurovision. But I watched it several times. https://t.co/MKdIFp3urU

I think they all did a cracking job but by far my favourite for the evening! One of the other interpreters was definitely giving me 1980s/90s rave vibes as well. Awesome!

Eurovision was the gift that keeps on giving. Here’s Clare’s colleague Abigail Gorman doing some pretty impressive interpretive rocking out, too.
