As Austria revels in their Eurovision Song Contest victory, the UK's Remember Monday remain upbeat despite receiving zero points from the public vote. The girl band graced the stage at St Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, alongside 25 other acts, vying for the coveted trophy in its 69th year.
Singers Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele seemed to be on a promising trajectory when they garnered 88 points from the jury votes for their song 'What The Hell Just Happened'. However, their aspirations were dashed when they failed to secure a single point from the public vote, resulting in an overall 19th place out of a possible 26.
Yet fans praised their "perfect response" to the 'nul points' outcome, as they were spotted brushing off the disappointment with a smile and savouring the experience. The trio could be seen laughing, raising their hands, and standing up, while the hall burst into applause.
One supporter shared the moment on X, writing: "Well done girls. The perfect response."
Another showed their support, stating: "I am sorry but that is actually criminal. Outrageous. I'm so upset for Remember Monday but that is Eurovision. Ahhhh well. We had a lovely time and the girls were phenomenal."

Gordon Ramsay makes his true feelings known towards future son-in-law Adam Peaty
Olympic swimming legend Adam Peaty took on his toughest challenge yet, with future father-in-law Gordon Ramsay in full support. On Sunday, the 30-year-old pushed through a brutal triathlon, surrounded by a very famous cheer squad. The Strictly Come Dancing star, who has six Olympic medals under his belt, dived into his first-ever triathlon as part of the T100 Triathlon World Tour. Unsurprisingly, he was surrounded by his biggest supporters both in and out of the water as 'Team Ramsay' were on hand for the event. His fiancée, Holly Ramsay, was there to cheer him on, along with his young son George, who beamed with pride throughout the day. The Ramsay family was out in full force – Holly's mum, Tana, and siblings Megan, Tilly, and Jack all participated in the event alongside him. Gordon, 58, had hoped to take part himself but was benched by doctors after getting stitches in his cheek – but he more than made up for it with enthusiastic sideline support. It was a big day filled with famous faces, with McFly drummer Harry Judd and former racing driver Billy Monger also among the competitors. The triathlon was no joke – a 2km swim, an 80km cycle, and an 18km run made up the punishing course. Adam powered through and crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 37 seconds, collapsing into a hug from his proud loved ones. Moments after the triathlon ended, George ran up to his dad with a handmade sign that read 'I love you. Go Daddy', and gave him a kiss. Holly was glowing with pride as her future husband caught his breath. 'That was the hardest thing I've ever done,' Adam said afterwards, before adding: 'I'd 100% do it again.' Reflecting on the experience, he later shared on Instagram: 'Before this I never raced for more than a few minutes, never swam open water, never raced on a bike or had ever done a 10km run with people of all paces around me. Glad I got all of those ticked off today.' Adam's relationship with Holly began in 2023, and the Olympian popped the question last Autumn. While the couple initially kept things quiet, it was Gordon who let the wedding plans slip during an interview on The Jonathan Ross Show. 'It's going to be a Christmas wedding,' he said, revealing they'd already started scouting venues and making arrangements. The celebrity chef went on to praise Adam, calling him a down-to-earth, driven man and the ideal match for his daughter. Gordon shared that Adam had asked for his and Tana's blessing during a family trip to Cornwall, describing the moment as emotional and unforgettable. 'As a future son-in-law, we couldn't ask for better,' he continued, clearly touched by the swimmer's sincerity. The feeling is mutual, as Adam has spoken openly about how welcomed he feels by the Ramsay family. And yes, Gordon is already planning the wedding menu – something Holly says he has been excited about from day one. 'He's definitely taking charge of the food,' she told Closer Magazine, laughing about her dad's enthusiasm for the big day. Holly first shared news of their engagement with an emotional Instagram post, calling Adam her 'best friend' and saying she still remembers the smile she had after their first date. She thanked him for making her feel 'loved, seen and happier than ever' and said she couldn't wait to become his wife. Adam posted his own heartfelt message soon after, calling Holly 'gentle, caring and beautiful,' and saying he felt like the luckiest man alive. More Trending He also spoke about how close he's become to her family, describing their warmth, support, and generosity as something he's incredibly grateful for. Now, with wedding bells ringing this Christmas and triathlon medals added to his collection, Adam seems to be entering a brand new chapter – on both the podium and in his personal life. Between gruelling training, new athletic goals, and a growing family, he has embracing it all with humility and heart. View More » And with Gordon in his corner – whether in trainers or a chef's hat – it looks like he has got the ultimate support team. Got a story?

Influencer couple described as 'extraordinary souls' killed in off-road crash It is thought that they may have lost control on the rugged terrain General view of one part of British Columbia, Canada (Image: Getty) An influencer couple have died after an off-road crash. Matthew and Stacey, the couple behind the Toyota World Runners social media pages, died in a recent off-road accident in the mountains of British Columbia towards the village of Trout Lake. Their deaths were confirmed by friends and family online and by Kaslo Search and Rescue, who attended the scene. The couple were driving through rough terrain on a forestry road north of Trout Lake on the evening of August 7 when rescuers believe they lost control of their vehicle. Mark Jennings-Bates, a manager with Kaslo SAR, said teams were called to the crash at around 7.30pm local time. He said: 'Our teams were able to get to them efficiently. It's a long journey, but they got there efficiently. So that was very, very helpful.
