The Wrapper fan was introduced as the Wrapper.
Many types of wrappers can now be seen in the street scene. Did the BBC reporter get confused? Sarah Louise Bennett, EBU
The wrapper will be seen in the Eurovision final. Viushuuma is at its peak and both in the Finnish street scene and in Liverpool, Käärijä has been encouraged by dressing in neon green.
One fan dressed up in the Käärijä style made a BBC reporter go crazy. He caught a fan in a green bolero and a potty hat for an interview on the night of the semi-finals. The man also owned Käärijä’s dance studios.
In the video, the reporter tells “how he got to talk to the man himself”. He asks the man how he feels about Liverpool.
The man begins to praise the mood of the sage. In the video, he is introduced as Finland’s representative, Käärija.
BBC reporter Scott Bryan has posted the video on his Twitter account.
– Oh my God, a reporter from BBC North West interviewed a Käärijä fan thinking he was Käärijä, he tweets.
– This is the best thing I’ve ever seen, people say on Twitter.
The story does not say whether the reporter was serious or whether it was a prank for the viewers.
The wrapper commented on reaching the final at night in Yle’s press release:
– Even though the expectations were high in advance, I feel relieved now. Now I’m immediately looking towards the final and the big H-moment, Käärijä said.
– The game is definitely not over yet, and it’s not time to celebrate yet. Now let’s get the heart rate down, also there on the couch at home. Let’s pull on the boleros and see you in the final.
The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest takes place on Thursday evening. The winner will be decided in the final, which will take place in Liverpool on Saturday night.
