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."

Noel Gallagher's ‘excellent condition' 1990s super saloon up for sale for eye-watering seven-figure price
The motor was owned by Gallagher despite the fact he couldn't drive it ROLL WITH IT Noel Gallagher's 'excellent condition' 1990s super saloon up for sale for eye-watering seven-figure price Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BEEFY super saloon that once belonged to Noel Gallagher has recently hit the market - for a supersonic sum of £1.2million. A gorgeous Bentley Turbo R was listed on Auto Trader, having once been the pride of joy of the Don't Look Back in Anger singer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Despite never passing his driving test, Noel Gallagher's former Bentley Turbo R, complete with Britpop flair, is now up for grabs Credit: Getty 3 Gallagher's luxurious super saloon boasts a powerful 6.8-litre V8 engine and can be yours for a staggering £1.2million Credit: Auto Trader 3 Once owned by the Oasis frontman, this stylish Bentley boasts cream leather interiors, wood trims and the iconic 'OASI6 2' number plate Credit: Getty The four-door saloon, which was first registered in 1997, was owned by Gallagher despite the fact he couldn't drive it. The Turbo R - with the 'R" standing for "roadholding" - boasts a 6.8-litre V8 engine and is good for 0-60mph under seven seconds, as well as a top speed of 143mph. Not only built for speed, the Bentley boasts all the trimmings you'd expect from a luxury set of wheels of its time - featuring a cream leather interior, complemented by a wood trim. Described as being in both "excellent condition" and "surprisingly reliable", the Turbo R has clocked some 100,000 miles in its 28-year life. The snazzy motor also has the number plate 'OASI6 2', in reference to the Britpop band, which is set to reunite to play a run of gigs this year in the UK and Ireland. This includes shows at Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, and Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, throughout July, August and September. The reunion made history, with more than 10million fans trying to get their hands on the British shows alone. Every performance, including those in the US, South America and Australia, sold out within minutes of going on sale. Famously, the Manchester-born musician has never passed his driving test - but seemingly hasn't stopped him owning or, indeed, driving cars. In 2023, he was handed six penalty points and ordered to pay a court £1,000 for failing to tell police who was driving his Range Rover - which was clocked speeding at 41mph on a 30mph stretch of the A40 in Edgware Road, West London. Noel Gallagher looks stony-faced as he makes lonely Tube journey to Oasis rehearsals – but Liam's entrance is chaotic Speaking about the Bentley's sale, Erin Baker, editorial director at Auto Trader, said: 'Cars listed by music legends don't come around very often, and Noel Gallagher's Bentley Turbo R is certainly one for the Auto Trader history books." Auto Trader's Catherine King recently spoke to Sun Motors with advice on the best second-hand convertibles drivers can pick up at a pinch in time for the summer sun. Naturally, their picks included the evergreen Mazda MX-5 - dubbed the poster child for convertible cars.

Will Ferrell has said he is 'excited' to bring a musical version of the Eurovision Song Contest to Broadway. The American actor, 57, is basing the project on his Netflix movie, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga, which he starred in opposite Canadian actress Rachel McAdams and British actor Dan Stevens.

'The stage musical is a perfect place to continue our celebration of all the things we love about this amazing and unifying song competition.'

Music will come from Savan Kotecha, who was behind the songs for the Netflix movie, and will be directed by Alex Timbers. Advertisement 'Will Ferrell and Harper Steele are my comedy heroes,' Timbers, a Tony award-winning director, said. 'And when I first saw their joyful movie Eurovision during the pandemic, it buoyed spirits during a very dark time. 'With this stage adaptation, I can't wait to bring that same mix of heart, spectacle, irreverence, and awe to audiences across the world.' In the 2020 movie, The Notebook actress McAdams, an Oscar nominee, and Elf star Ferrell play Icelandic musicians Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir who are competing at Eurovision.
