Sweden's Eurovision entry Loreen made history on Saturday night when she became the first woman to win the competition TWICE! This year's performance of 'Tattoo' wowed the judges and public around Europe and beyond, as she was awarded a massive 538 points ahead of Finland (526) and Israel (362).

Just two days after taking to the stage in Liverpool, Loreen joined Fleur East, James and producer Matt on Hits Radio Breakfast where she told us what it was like representing her country for the second time, how she stopped the nerves getting the better of her and she even confirmed there was a tour coming!

When Fleur asked how she was feeling, Loreen admitted: "This is surreal darling! I don't know what to do, I mean, it really feels amazing! It's crazy."

The singer went on to talk the team through her emotions on the night, while many of the acts were dancing on tables and doing a conga line, Loreen was mediating! "I was actually mediating," she explained. "The energy in the arena was so tense!"

Loreen went on to reveal she thought her crew were more terrified that her saying: "I was trying to calm them down, like 'guys I can feel what you're feeling'."

With a song tipped to go to Number 1, James wanted to know if we were going to get a tour, and the Swedish singer confirmed we WILL be getting one later this year. "Yeah! There's going to be a Europe tour - right?! In November..." Loreen revealed. She went on to say we should expect to get dates in the next week or two. So watch this space!

Having won Eurovision twice, Fleur wanted to know what the secret to success is, and Loreen said it was down to "being authentic" and "having a good song". When pushed on whether she would be up for representing Sweden a third time, she said: "You NEVER know!"

Since Loreen won on Saturday fans have been speculating that ABBA could be making a comeback to celebrate 50 years since they won Eurovision. And Loreen didn't dismiss the idea of getting them back on stage. When James asked: "Do you think we'll get ABBA on stage?" she replied: "Most definitely! Let's pressure them... Stockholm and ABBA on stage."
