Where you've seen UK's Eurovision entry Remember Monday bandmates before

Daily Mirror17-05-2025
Country-pop trio Remember Monday are repping the UK at Eurovision 2025 but fans may recognise them from The Voice UK, West End stages before their big Basel debut
They're heading to the Eurovision stage to represent the UK but if you think the women of Remember Monday look familiar, you're not imagining things - and also you have a good memory!
The country-pop trio, made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and C harlotte Steele, have had quite the journey to the international spotlight, and they're no strangers to a TV appearance. The girls are this year's UK Eurovision hopefuls, performing their harmony-rich track What The Hell Just Happened, and they'll be stepping out on stage in Basel, Switzerland, as part of the glittery grand final.

But it turns out this isn't their first brush with a big singing contest.

The Voice UK
Way before Eurovision came calling, Remember Monday had their first taste of national fame on The Voice UK back in 2019. At the time, all three women were in their early 20s and auditioned together as a group.
Their rendition of Seal's 'Kiss From A Rose' wowed the entire panel so much so that all four judges hit their buzzers. Every judge: Jennifer Hudson, Will.I.Am, Tom Jones and Olly Murs all turned around to try and win them over. They eventually joined Team J-Hud, and made it to the knockouts performing their original song Jailbreaker.
West End
The three-piece, who became friends at sixth form in Farnborough, Hampshire, started writing and rehearsing music on Mondays, hence the name. The group creates a unique mix of modern country, vintage harmonies and pop-rock flair. Think Nashville meets the West End.
Theatre fans of musical stage shows might recognise Lauren and Holly-Anne from London's top productions. Between them, they've starred in Phantom of the Opera and Six: The Musical, adding some West End polish to their country-pop credentials.
Festival appearances
Since their time on The Voice, the group has been steadily making waves in the UK country scene. They've played at Country to Country and The Long Road Festival and even embarked on their own UK headline tour, selling out a London show in the process.

They've also built a loyal online following, boasting 77,000 followers on Instagram and over half a million TikTok fans. And they've caught the attention of a few famous faces along the way.
BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills is already a fan, having played them on his show, and earlier this year the trio made it across the pond to the Jennifer Hudson Show in the US. A clip from the appearance, captioned by the show 'Reunited and it feels so good! @remembermonday_ has come such a long way since @iamjhud coached them on @thevoiceuk', had fans reminiscing about their early days.
One viewer wrote: 'I recently found out about this group and now I've learned that YOU were their coach! This is incredible.' Another chimed in with: 'Going from watching you gals on the West End to now this. Proud as punch!!'
Eurovision shake-up
Their Eurovision entry marks a significant shift in tone from last year's act, when Olly Alexander took to the stage with his synth-pop number Dizzy. That entry unfortunately finished near the bottom, with zero points from the public.
This time around, the UK's Eurovision organisers are clearly betting on a fresh formula. A source told The Sun: 'As ever behind the scenes competition has been fierce to represent the UK. This year, bosses have opted to shake things up and send a female trio, Remember Monday.'
The UK hasn't had a win since 1997, and with Switzerland's glitzy St Jakobshalle hosting the show this May, so the pressure's on. However, if this is the year UK takes the trophy, the song choice of What The Hell Just Happened will be appropriate.

Heidi Klum is every bit the supportive mom as she helps nepo baby son Johan move to college

Heidi Klum took time out of her busy schedule to help her second youngest son move to college. The 52-year-old German supermodel - whose other son strutted his stuff at a recent fashion show - was seen giving a helping hand to 18-year-old child Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel. Heidi was not alone as she was joined by her two eldest children - daughter Leni, 20, and 19-year-old son Henry - in the Soho neighborhood of New York City. Not seen on the outing was the Project Runway star's youngest, 15-year-old Lou, as she shares the three boys with ex-husband Seal. Leni's biological father is Flavio Briatore. Noticeably missing was Johan's 62-year-old singer father - born Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel - who is not currently on tour. On the outing the star kept her look simple as she sported a black graphic T-Shirt with E.T. on it, sheer tiger patterned capri pants, and black Birkenstock double strapped sandals. She accessorized with a red New York Yankees baseball cap and aviator shades. Heidi even commemorated the big move with an Instagram post in which she posed with three of her children in an elevator. She captioned the snap: 'College move in day NYC [heart and Statue Of Liberty emojis]' The star did not reveal where Johan will be going to college but she had previously talk about where he was interested in going as he has a passion for fashion. Back in October 2024, she told People: 'Today, we actually toured Parsons for my second son, Johan. 'Johan is very much into the arts and making clothes.' In June, Heidi had celebrated her son's graduation from Campbell Hall. 'Cheering you on today and every day,' the former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl gushed on Instagram. Heidi even commemorated the big move with an Instagram post in which she posed with three of her children in an elevator 'Congratulations Johan! My heart is full of joy and pride.' The nepo baby donned a classic cap and gown for the ceremony held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA amid the ICE raid protests. Notable alumni of the Studio City private school includes filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, actress Dakota Fanning, her younger sister Elle Fanning, Modern Family alum Ariel Winter, and the Olsen twins. Joining Heidi at the graduation festivities at the time was her eldest son Henry, who beamed beside his baby brother.

Vienna to host Eurovision Song Contest 2026

The city will become joint fourth on the list of places which have hosted the contest the most times, alongside Copenhagen, Malmo and Stockholm, with Austrian broadcaster ORF hosting the event. Eurovision's 70th final will take place at the city's Wiener Stadthalle arena on May 16, after a bidding process for cities saw officials examine facilities, infrastructure and the ability to accommodate visiting delegations, fans and journalists. A post shared by Eurovision Song Contest (@eurovision) Martin Green, director of the Eurovision Song Contest, said: 'The EBU (European Broadcasting Union) is thrilled that Vienna has been selected as the host city for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. 'Vienna's reputation as one of the most musical cities in the world, and its location in the heart of Europe, makes it the perfect host city for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest. 'The city's exceptional Stadthalle was a great venue for the 60th contest in 2015 and we're very much looking forward to welcoming delegations, artists and fans alike back there next May as the world's largest live music event celebrates 70 glorious years of being united by music. 'Together with host broadcaster ORF and the city of Vienna we will create a spectacular celebration of music that will reverberate across the world.' Vienna's City Hall will host the event's opening ceremony on May 10, and go on to host EuroClub, the contest's pop-up, nightlife spot, while the square outside will host the Eurovision Village, an open air screening zone. Mayor of Vienna, Michael Ludwig, added: 'In Vienna, we can be proud that our city has been selected by the EBU and ORF as the most suitable host city for one of the world's largest events. 'We submitted a convincing overall package with enormous accommodation capacities, excellent infrastructure, and a lot of experience in hosting international events. 'Additionally, we placed great emphasis on offering numerous Eurovision Song Contest events in public spaces that can be visited free of charge. 'As the mayor of Vienna, it is very important to me that cultural events are accessible to everyone, regardless of the size of their wallet. 'As the mayor of Vienna, I am, of course, pleased that Vienna was able to prevail and that Austria can represent itself again next year. We will have a great May together, I am convinced of that.' Further details including ticketing will be released later this year. Eurovision's 2025 final saw Israeli singer Yuval Raphael finish as runner-up, after her team said she was left 'shaken and upset' after pro-Palestinian protesters rushed towards a barrier while she was on stage. Following the incident, Swiss police confirmed two people were handed over to them and that they were later released, while the organiser, Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR, released a statement saying that a crew member was hit with paint but was 'fine'.
