Fans of Eurovision winning act Lordi have reacted angrily to a magazine's decision to print a photograph of the group's lead singer without his mask.

Finnish gossip magazine 7 Päivää (known as Seiska) published a photograph of the group's lead singer Mr Lordi (real name Tomi Putaansuu) on the cover, without his stage make-up.

According to reports, fans of the group immediately began posting messages of outrage on websites, with an online petition against the magazine's action claiming to have secured over 180,000 signatures.

Band members have previously requested that they are not photographed without their stage costumes.
