Irish people had lots of fun with a Eurovision hashtag on Twitter

Twitter was flooded with lots of concerned tweets from Irish people during last night’s Eurovision semi-final.

Don't worry, nothing happened - they were just taking advantage of one hilarious hashtag!

To get more people tweeting during the live shows, Eurovision entrants each have personalised 'hashflags' which produce an emoticon showing a country's flag in a little heart.

People will tweet about the Irish entry with #IRL, our neighbours in the UK will be discussed over #GBR, and so on. Nothing could go wrong, right?

Except for Hungary, which was shortened to #HUN, and Irish tweeters grabbed the opportunity for some laughs.

#hun is now trending in Ireland http://t.co/lnn4sEU0a6

Hungary made it through to the final, so expect to see a lot more tweets inquiring about their welfare on Saturday.
