Eurovision 2025 UK act finally confirmed after soaring to fame on The Voice

We finally know who will be representing the UK at Eurovision this year.

After weeks of waiting, and rumours swirling over who would be following in Olly Alexander’s footsteps, Scott Mills broke the news on his BBC Radio 2 programme this morning.

‘It ain’t a Eurovision entry until I say it is,’ Scott teased, adding: ‘I am so ready to get behind the act that is representing us and I know you’re going to adore them.

‘They are genuinely brilliant and really lovely.’

Who is representing the UK in Eurovision 2025?

Scott confirmed that The Voice singers Remember Monday would be representing the UK at Eurovision 2025.

The Country pop stars have performed at British Summer Time Festival in Hyde Park and are also due to play Big Feastival and Latitude this summer.

Remember Monday boast a following of 530,000 loyal fans on TikTok and 80,000 on Instagram.

To date, Remember Monday have released two EPs and twelve singles including hit tunes Laugh About It, Hysterical Women and Prove Me Right.

They’ve also covered songs from the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Queen, Shania Twain and Wicked.

It had previously been reported that Remember Monday will be flying our flag, with a BBC presenter letting it slip before the official announcement.

Who are the Remember Monday members?

The band is made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele.

The trio met in sixth form and quit their jobs more than a year ago to focus on Remember Monday full-time.

Talking about how they decided on their name, the band previously revealed it came from ‘an in joke’ of having free periods at school that always fell on a Monday, and how they’d skip lessons to sing together.

‘That turned into us singing everyday of the week and not going our classes,’ they told Scott.

‘We did that for years and years and it became an in joke that it was always happening on a Monday, so that’s where Remember Monday was born.’

The singers have also appeared in musical theatre productions including Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, and Matilda, with Lauren also having a lead role in the nationwide tour of SIX The Musical.

When were Remember Monday on The Voice?

Remember Monday were on The Voice UK in 2019, and were coached by Jennifer Hudson.

They were eliminated in the knockouts round of season eight of the ITV singing competition, which was eventually won by Molly Hocking.

What song will Remember Monday perform on Eurovision?

The trio will be performing their song What The Hell Just Happened? at the Song contest in Basel, Switzerland, in May.

Their song follows the aftermath of a fun night out with friends, showcasing the band’s humour, relatability and their signature harmonies.

They said: ‘What The Hell Just Happened is exactly how we’re feeling right now! It’s all very surreal; our friendship goes so far back, and we definitely never imagined that we’d be doing anything like this.

‘When you’re a kid and people ask you what you want to be when you grow up, an absolute classic is “I wanna be a pop star”, so the fact that we’re getting the chance to live that dream as three best friends is just wild.

‘We’re going to be the first girlband to represent for the UK since 1999, which feels like such a crazy honour. We’re going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won’t have seen before on the Eurovision stage.

‘We honestly can’t wait to experience this with all of the other incredible artists from around the world, and hopefully make everyone back at home feel proud! This is really the music World Cup and we’ll do our best to bring it home!’

Remember Monday co-wrote the song What The Hell Just Happened? with Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie ‘Kill J’ Aagaard.  Brit Award nominees, Billen Ted, have worked with Little Mix, Anne Marie, MNEK and Armin van Buuren to name a few. Thomas Stengaard previously wrote Denmark’s 2013 Eurovision winning song Only Teardrops. Julie ‘Kill J’ Aagaard is both a multi-platinum songwriter and a successful experimental pop artist in her own right.

When is Eurovision 2025 taking place?

The Song Contest will be taking place in Basel, Switzerland, after Nemo’s win with The Code in Malmo, Sweden, last May.

The grand final of the Song Contest will take place on May 17, after the semi-finals on May 13 and 15.

The UK’s entry Olly performed with his song Dizzy last year, finishing in 18th position with a respectable 46 points from the jury vote but 0 in the public vote.

Ahead of the news being revealed, Olly shared some blunt advice for next year’s entrant after his own experience.

The Years & Years singer, 34, joked on The Graham Norton show: ‘Maybe just get yourself a really good therapist.’

‘Good therapy because you will have a lot to talk about for years,’ he laughed.

Graham replied: ‘Those were not the encouraging words of wisdom I’d hoped for!’

Last year’s Eurovision was mired in controversy, following the disqualification of Netherlands’s contestant Joost Klein over an ‘incident’ and controversy over the participation  of Israeli contestant Eden Golan in the wake of the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and ongoing war.

The organisers have since pledged that a new code of conduct along with a raft of new measures will help ‘protect’ the wellbeing of artists.

The grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will take place in St Jakobshalle in Basel on May 17, with the semi-finals taking place on May 13 and 15.
