Remember Monday celebrate until sunrise despite awkward Eurovision result
Remember Monday partied like winners at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest after party - despite a rather awkward night at the singing competition. The harmonising girl group, consisting of former school friends Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, had a rough night in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday night, where the music event was held.
The group represented the United Kingdom and performed the country pop track What the Hell Just Happened? - but were left perplexed when the show reached a climax. Despite being rewarded reasonably handsomely by the Eurovision judges, the band did not receive any votes from the viewing public.
Despite the humbling outcome, the singers let down their hair at the official post ceremony party - where 30-year-old Lauren reportedly danced the night away until 6am. The singer was seen at the Euroclub in the Swiss city along with other members of the the UK delegation.
According to The Sun, Lauren was spotted: "Dancing to classic Eurovision entries and at one point joined a conga line. When the DJ played their entry What The Hell Just Happened?, she ran up on stage and belted out the track, much to the joy of the hundreds of punters still celebrating."
Remember Monday ended up in 19th place after securing 88 points from the various juries that voted for the 2025 winner. In a humiliating turn of events, however, the European public opted to award precisely nil points to the UK, leaving the trio visibly flabbergasted as they acknowledged their performance had failed to make an impression across the continent.
In a statement shared with the Mirror on Sunday morning, the band said: "WOW - what a ride! Three best mates walked onto the world 's biggest music stage and came out with a Top 10 Jury score, massive streaming numbers, and memories that will last a lifetime.
"Performing at Eurovision was one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives. The love we've felt from fans, our incredible team, and everyone who streamed, voted, and believed in us has been overwhelming. This is just the beginning for Remember Monday. We've got new music coming your way, a UK & Ireland headline tour this year, a summer packed with festivals, and we'll be hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball… no big deal!"
They added: "We're so grateful for the platform, the media support, and every single new fan who's joined us on this wild journey. Eurovision? Completed it. Let's go!'
Ahead of their live performance on Saturday night, commentator Graham Norton declared: "[Remember Monday] have a great advantage in that they are unlike any other act this year.
"Their vocals and harmonies are flawless, the song has a very strong hook and the trio are hugely likeable... With a decent place in the running order, they should do very well indeed."
Sharing his insights on what makes a winning song, he added: "It doesn't have to be complicated, just clever and fresh. Lastly, and this is the hardest of all, the act needs to be likeable and somehow get their personality across to the audience. Not forgetting great vocals."
Despite failing to bring home the trophy on Saturday, Remember Monday are being tipped for big things - and have reportedly signed a deal with theatre and musical icon Sir Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
A source told The Mail on Sunday:"Andrew is genuinely excited by Remember Monday – he really does think they have something special, both in their vocal capabilities and with their stage presence.
"He is utterly convinced they can go from strength to strength as a result of Eurovision. For some acts the contest is a last throw of the dice, but the new label deal shows how much faith he has in them going on to greater things now."

John Fury told Molly-Mae Hague to 'walk away' from Tommy - 'He doesn't think much of you'
John Fury has admitted he offered his advice to Molly-Mae Hague as she struggled with her relationship with his son, Tommy Fury last year amid his issues with alcohol Tommy Fury's dad, John Fury, has made a surprise admission when it comes to his son's relationship with Molly-Mae Hague. The pair met on Love Island and went on to welcome baby daughter Bambi together. However, after five years the couple initially split before reconciling and giving their coupling another go. After shocking their fans with their split, Tommy revealed he had been struggling with alcohol addiction. And in the Tommy's latest documentary, Tommy: The Good, The Bad, The Fury, it's because of this addiction dad John says he told Molly-Mae to leave his son. The new series, which is set to air on BBC Three next week, will see John make his candid call. READ MORE: Tommy Fury makes decision about Bambi's future after own Love Island past John, who is also the dad of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, is heard in the first episode of the series saying: "I knew from dealing with Tyson that when the drinking started to come into play, I thought 'Not again'." In the clip, which was shared on The Sun, John continued: "I did say to Molly because she came to me with this stuff, you know, and I said 'What you are best off doing with him, Molly. is walking away because if he is not gonna change himself, he doesn't think that much of you, does he?'" The words come as Tommy is heard discussing his issues and his split from the Maebe founder. He discusses allegation of cheating, claims he continues to deny. He is heard saying the relationship breakdown came due to alcohol. He has openly discussed his struggles in recent months. In January, the pugilist opened up about his drinking problems. He said at the time he became "addicted to drinking" and "couldn't be the partner that he wanted to be anymore". Speaking about his drinking, he told Men's Health: "It's not like I'd get up in the morning and start drinking, but rather than sit in bed all day and fester, I'd think 'why not go out?' "Where I'd normally be in camp, I'd just be smashing Guinness left and centre and then later on in the night shots would come out. Tommy and Molly-Mae have rekindled their romance and appear as happy as ever as they continue to share holiday snaps online. They were recently seen in Turkey as they shared a number of wholesome family memories with their social media followers. The parents of one stayed at a £2,000 a night hotel, which "has been carefully curated to deliver a true family holiday without compromise" and boasts 553 spacious suites and private villas. However, while many were on hand to praise the family, others hit out at the amount of holidays they had been taking. Former Love Island star Molly-Mae has been on at least ten holidays this year already after two trips to Dubai, Budapest, Paris, St. Moritz, and Disneyland Paris, as well as her most recent trip to Turkey.

Meghan's trying to ‘wash her reputation' but cringe new Netflix trailer ‘is the exact same recipe as first season flop'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MEGHAN Markle's cringey trailer for the new season of her show has "the exact same recipe" as its "first season flop", a royal commentator has said. The Duchess of Sussex released the sneak peek for the second season of With Love, Meghan earlier today on social media. 6 The trailer for the second season of Meghan Markle's show With Love, Meghan was released today Credit: Netflix 6 A royal commentator has said the new season has the 'same recipe' as the previous critically panned one Credit: Netflix 6 Meghan is also using the show to 'wash her reputation as a bully', the royal commentator added Credit: Netflix The first series of the show was critically panned upon release, with one reviewer calling it "gormless lifestyle filler", another slamming it as an "exercise in narcissism" and US entertainment magazine Variety branding it a 'Montecito ego trip not worth taking." Now, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has slammed the duchess for trying to "wash her reputation" with her new show. The trailer sees Meghan cooking and baking alongside a number of celebrity guests in her swanky Montecito home. Kinsey told The Sun: "Meghan has a reputation for being ugly and a bully to some of her staff. "I think she's doing this 'pursuit of joy, happiness, look at me dancing, having fun' as a way to change public perception about her." However, Kinsey says the show seems "so staged", focusing on how a member of the filming crew can be overhead saying "right on cue" at the start of the trailer. She added that the show seemed very much the same as the first season - which it was filmed alongside. Kinsey said: "If you weren't impressed with the first season, don't expect a sudden evolution. "You're getting more of the same recipe here, and you really see that in the trailer. "It doesn't look like there's any real shift here - even the music is very much the same." 'Vicious' Meg is trying to one-up Kate with money-grabbing Netflix deal but it WON'T work, expert slams She added: "The first season was a critical flop but the Sussexes still have a certain morbid curiosity factor around them. "People can't help but peek, even if they roll their eyes while watching." The second season of the show is due to air on August 26 on Netflix and will land just weeks after Meghan and Harry announced their renewed deal with the streaming giant. The new episodes have been advertised as "fun and heartwarming", with a plethora of celebrity guests due to make their appearance. This includes model Chrissy Teigen, podcast pal Jamie Kern Lima, and Netflix Queer Eye star Tan France. Meghan can be seen laughing alongside guests at her luxury Montecito home in the trailer, even joking at the end about Prince Harry's lack of love for lobster. Speaking to Chef Andrés, she says: "You know who doesn't like lobster? My husband." In response, the chef light-heartedly retorts: "And you married him anyway?" In one moment during the trailer, in which she is seen cooking and baking with celebrity friends, the Duchess of Sussex also says: "I love the idea of just spending time together... and finding new ways to show people you care." She adds: "There are easy ways to show up, lovingly." There were also some notable omissions from today's trailer, with husband Harry, 40, and the couple's two kids - Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4 - nowhere to be seen. 6 Meghan and Harry signed a new deal with Netflix earlier this week Credit: Netflix 6 Meghan will feature alongside a number of celebrity guests in her show's newest season Credit: Netflix 6 Critics had panned the show's first season as an 'exercise in narcissism' Credit: Netflix This comes after Harry and Meghan announced yesterday they had signed a new "multi-year, first look deal" with the American streaming giant to produce "film and television projects". The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have previously released a number of shows on the platform, including a 2022 documentary on their lives and lifestyle show With Love, Meghan this year. They had secured a lucrative five-year contract - thought to be worth more than $100 million (£74 million) - with Netflix after quitting as senior working royals in 2020. However, this new deal has been signed for "much less", an insider told Page Six. Meghan said in a statement: 'We're proud to extend our partnership with Netflix and expand our work together to include the As Ever brand. "My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision." Netflix will only pay for projects they want to screen, rather than pay in a single multi-million pound agreement like the one signed in 2020, The Sun understands. The Sun can also reveal, however, that the streaming giants will cover Archewell Productions's overheads, including all costs for its offices and staff. The new deal was also described as a "downgrade" by PR expert Mark Borkowski. He told the Mail: "I think Netflix has done a very neat job of pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn't deliver, and they've taken that deal off the table, and they've given them a modest one. "It's not like they're gradually uncoupling – it's a downgrade. Netflix are not going to expose themselves to those budgets again. It's Netflix saying, 'Let's have a look at your content, but we'll pick and choose, mate'."
