The UK’s artist for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 appears to have been announced this week despite the BBC choosing not to comment yet.

BBC Radio 1 hosts Nat O’Leary and Vicky Hawkesworth announced the UK act for Eurovision 2025 during their show on Friday, February 7.

Rumours that have circulated about the act being a girl band appear to be correct - here's what we know.

Who is representing the UK at Eurovision 2025?

According to the radio presenters, Remember Monday, a country girl band, will represent the country in the international singing competition with their song still to be revealed.

On Friday’s edition of Group Chat With Nat And Vicky, the presenters said that it isn't the first time the girl band has been involved in a singing competition.

Announcing the news, Nat and Vicky said: “Now we have to talk a little about Eurovision because we’ve gone a different route this year.

“So this year they’re going for a country theme and country is having its moment, still, which I’m really glad to see, we saw Beyonce win album of the year at the Grammys for Cowboy Carter and now this girl band, which are called Remember Monday, are going to be representing us at Eurovision this year.

“So we’ve got Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steel, and they’ve already been on TV, they’ve been on The Voice in 2019, so they know what they’re doing, they’ve got us this year.”

Despite the radio presenters 'confirming' the news, the BBC told Newsquest it would not be commenting on the announcement.

Instead, the broadcaster said “any announcements regarding Eurovision will be made in due course.”

The act and song representing the UK will be publicly announced by the BBC before the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)’s deadline in March 2025, the BBC has said.

The country group have toured the UK and US including stopping at the C2C: Country to Country British music festival, The Long Road festival in Leicestershire, Highways Festival at the Royal Albert Hall, CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee and opening for Billy Joel’s 2023 BST Hyde Park show.

Who won Eurovision in 2024? 

Last year, Eurovision was hosted in Malmo, Sweden and the winner was Nemo Mettler from Switzerland. 

Tearfully accepting the trophy on stage, Nemo said: “I want to say thank you so much – I hope this contest can live up to its promise and continue to stand for peace and dignity for every person in this world.”

How did the UK do in previous years?

In 2024, UK entrant Olly Alexander didn’t finish dead last with dance-pop track Dizzy but did receive “nul points” from the audience vote. 

It was the first time that a British entry performed in the semi-final of the competition and gave the UK a chance to showcase its song twice.

The year before that, pop singer Mae Muller represented the UK and scored 24 points with her track I Wrote A Song when she performed at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena. 

In 2022, Sam Ryder’s Eurovision stint representing the UK saw the singer finish as runner-up in Turin, Italy. 

His Eurovision success also helped him achieve a UK number one album, two UK number two singles and Brit and Emmy Award nominations.
