Fans have slammed the Eurovision list of prohibited items including golf balls and chairs, with people left confused by how “weirdly specific” it is.

The European singing contest, which is set to take place next month, has issued a set of rules that their live audience must abide by.

However, fans of the show were left stunned by the off list of forbidden items.

The catalogue of items banned from being taken into the venue include golf balls, ladders, cups and mugs, trolleys and adhesive tape.

In response to the list one fan wrote: “I’m sorry but I can’t stop laughing...who complied this list? No trolleys. Damn I’ll have to schedule my Tesco shop another time.”

Another posted: “It is weirdly specific, as if they added certain items after 'The Trolley Incident' or 'That Time With The Ladder'”.

Meanwhile another tweeted: “If that’s the case I’m interested in the backstory behind “no handcuffs and chains.”

This year 43 countries are set to take part in the annual competition.

SuRie will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon next month.

The singer, with her song Storm, won the public and jury vote combined during Wednesday night’s selection show Eurovision: You Decide.

After her sparkling performance, advisory expert Tom Fletcher complimented SuRie on her “intimate” verses and how everyone was singing along by the second verse, including the chorus.
