Officials for the Eurovision Song Contest have confirmed that one of the winning contestants will take a drugs test following their victory.

Last night, Italy representatives Måneskin were crowned winners of the highly-anticipated contest with their song 'Zitti E Buoni'.

The band managed to secure a total of 529 points to snatch the victory from a second-place France.

However, the band's victory has been tarnished by accusations that viewers "caught" lead singer Damiano David taking drugs following their performance.

After footage of the alleged act went viral, the Eurovision communications team said that they were "aware of the speculation".

Now, per The Sun, a spokesperson for the international competition said: "We are aware of the speculation surrounding the video clip of the Italian winners of the Eurovision Song Contest in the Green Room last night.

"The band have strongly refuted the allegations of drug use and the singer in question will take a voluntary drug test after arriving home.

"This was requested by them last night but could not be immediately organized by the EBU.

"The band, their management, and head of delegation have informed us that no drugs were present in the Green Room and explained that glass was broken at their table and it was being cleared by the singer.

"The EBU can confirm broken glass was found after an on-site check. We are still looking at footage carefully and will update with further information in due course."

At a press conference following the exciting contest, Damiano profusely denied the accusations, telling reporters: "Thomas [guitarist Thomas Raggi] broke a glass. I don't use drugs, please guys, do not say that.

"Don't say that really. No cocaine please, do not say that."

Additionally, the band posted the following statement to their Instagram Stories:

"We are really shocked about what some people are saying about Damiano doing drugs. We really are AGAINST drugs and we never used cocaine. We are ready to get tested, ‘cause we have nothing to hide.

"We are here to play our music and we are so happy about our Eurovision win and we wanna thank everyone for supporting us. Rock n roll never dies. We love you."

Måneskin's victory marked Italy's first win in the competition in 31 years.
