Gianluca Bezzina was thrilled last night after Malta placed eighth in the Eurovision Song Contest, the best result since 2005 when Chiara came second.

He told Eurovision.tv after the show that he just loved the atmosphere on stage.

When asked whether he would seek to return he replied that he would, but maybe not as soon as next year.

Gianluca, who sang Tomorrow, was fourth in the second semi-final on Thursday.

The singer and his band as well as a PBS delegation, return to Malta this afternoon at 3.40 on a flight from Frankfurt.
