Incident

During Iglesias' performance in the SuperFinal, a fan got on the stage and hugged him. When security guards came to take her off the stage, he politely made clear that he wanted the girl to remain on stage. He then sang his song Hero and Iglesias kissed his young fan at the end of his performance.
