Who is Conchita?
Conchita Wurst, born Tom Neuwirth, unleashed his alter-ego Conchita on the world in 2011.
She competed in the talent show Die Große Chance and took second place, becoming a national icon in Austria as the show progressed.
Prior to the creation of Conchita, Neuwirth had taken part in another talent show, Starmania and is a former member of boyband Jetzt Anders.
Conchita tried and failed to represent Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 with the song That’s What I Am.
The song contains the lyrics ‘you will learn to love me but will that ever be?’. The answer is clearly an emphatic yes!
As well as being a singer and television personality, Conchita Wurst has become a fashion icon. Almost every Facebook photo includes a list of designers responsible for her outfits.
