Naomi from Northern Ireland and Caleb from Dublin were the only duo in the contest

Among the singers from the 16 countries competing, were 13-year-old Naomi from County Down in Northern Ireland and 14-year-old Caleb from Dublin.

Naomi told the BBC she was a "wee but nervous" but "very excited" to perform at the competition.

They performed 'Níos Láidre' which means stronger in the Irish language.

Caleb said the song "truly is about lifting people up and being there for one another and being very powerful on your own, but even more powerful with others".

He added: "The support with our schools, our family, our friends, our performing arts schools, it's all just been amazing."
