A SINGER hailing from Palmers Green had a weekend to remember after winning the Eurovision Song Contest for Azerbaijan.

Nigar Jamal, 30, is one half of winning entry Ell/Nikki who took 221 points in the annual song-fest and romped to victory.

The mother-of-two moved to London in 2005 and splits her time between Palmers Green and her home in Azerbaijani capital Baku.

Nigar, stage name Nikki, thanked the public for voting after they were declared the winner on Saturday evening, adding: “We are very happy”.

She then performed winning song Running Scared to close the show.
