The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is just around the corner, with Remember Monday representing the UK this year.
The girl group, made up of members Charlotte Steele, Holly-Anne Hull, and Lauren Byrne, will be performing their song ‘What The Hell Just Happened’ and will be hoping to claim the winning spot.
Remember Monday will be the first all-female group to represent the UK since 1999 when they take to the stage in St. Jakobshalle, Basel next weekend, following Switzerland’s Nemo claiming the Eurovision 2024 title.
