Country-pop girl group Remember Monday will fly the flag for the UK with their entry What The Hell Just Happened?
Outlandish entries include Icelandic brothers Væb who are dead ringers for X Factor comedy twins Jedward — and Irish entry Emmy, oddly from Norway, singing about an, er, DEAD DOG in outer space on their track Laika Party.
But Eurovision producers are also on red alert for X-rated shenanigans.
Risque acts Malta's Miriana Conte whose song Serving was censored over its original title Kant — which means 'vocals' in Maltese but sounds awkwardly like a certain British four-letter word.
Producers now fear the audience at the St. Jakobshalle arena in Basel, Switzerland will make mischief by chanting the forbidden word.
One fan said on X: 'The whole arena will be screaming, 'Kant!' in her honour.'
Another said: 'They can ban the word 'Kant' but people will scream in the arena like it's the last word they're saying in the world. You wish you could stop us!'
Oh, and Miriana is due to sing just BEFORE the 9pm watershed during Thursday's semi-final, which will air live on BBC One.
That will follow tonight's first semi-final at 8pm on BBC One, ahead of the final on Saturday.
Miriana has even been giving out to fans skimpy thongs featuring her song title on them, to promote a performance that will see her bouncing suggestively up and down on a giant inflatable ball while images of legs opening and closing flash up behind her.
Meanwhile Finland's Erika Vikman, 32, will also complicate your evening if tuning in with Mum and Dad — as she pole-dances in racy Latex while belting out her track Ich Komme — which translates as: 'I'm coming.'
UK's Eurovision 2025 act revealed a year after Olly Alexander came 18th and was branded 'a flop'
Erika will peform in German but, in translated lyrics, sings: 'You're full of stamina, hit meе once again, grab my ass. And when you want more love, just shout 'encore', and baby, I'm coming.'
Australia's entry, Go-Jo, will also give show hosts Rylan and Scott Mills plenty to snigger about as he delivers his song Milkshake Man packed with cheeky innuendo.
He sings: 'Come and take a sip from my special cup, I heard that you could use a little pick-me-up.'
In the chorus, he then adds: 'I can tell you want a taste of the milkshake man.'
He also rips his top off — not to be outdone by Armenia's Parg who performs his party piece Survivor while topless.
Bookies' favourite Sweden, represented by comedy trio Kaj and their track Bara Bada Bastu, will give fans an eyeful, too — as men dressed only in towels dance in what appears to be a sauna.
A Eurovision source said: 'There are lots of risque acts this year and anything could happen. There are plenty of rehearsals but a lot of the acts have precarious outfits and you can never quite predict what will happen on the night.'
Ten acts will go through from each semi-final, to compete in the final alongside host country Switzerland and Eurovision's Big Five — France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
Country-pop girl group Remember Monday will fly the flag for the UK with their entry What The Hell Just Happened?
Band member Charlotte Steele said: 'The Eurovision community and all of the people that we've met, we feel like all of that we're taking with us.
'We genuinely feel so grateful and so honoured to be welcomed with such open arms into this community and we want to meet every single person out in Basel.
'We're just so so happy to be a part of this and we will look back on this as the most incredible experience of our entire lives.'

Huge fears for EastEnders' Linda as Phil unleashes his rage on Elaine
Linda Carter's (Kellie Bright) wellbeing is the subject of much concern in EastEnders next week as Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) clocks how stressed she is. The landlady of the Queen Vic is forced to pick up the pieces for mum Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe), who is set to make a reckless decision in the wake of her fears about George Knight (Colin Salmon). George, as viewers know, has been keeping secrets from Lainey, such as a secret kiss with his ex Sabrina and his involvement in making her love rival Cindy Beale's (Michelle Collins) opening night a success. With Elaine's head elsewhere, Linda ends up doing the lion's share of the work at The Vic, which leaves Phil incredibly concerned. As a busy night gets underway at the establishment, with Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan-Levy) among those in attendance, Elaine declares that the prosecco is on the house all night, which leaves Linda utterly reeling. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Phil pops in for a drink with Nigel Bates (Paul Bradley) and it doesn't take him long to realise just how much Linda is struggling with the extra workload and therefore he offers her a helping hand. Elaine, meanwhile, offers to book Priya a singles cruise, telling her she can pay her back later. Linda witnesses £5,000 leave the business account and she's utterly horrified. Wasting little time in confronting Elaine, the Carter matriarch demands answers. Elaine, however, is completely indifferent to the situation, dismissing Linda's concerns entirely. The following day, Elaine wakes with a vicious hangover. Linda tries to talk sense into her mum, who once again shuts her down – and refuses to engage with her altogether. Phil continues to worry about Linda, who is quite clearly struggling under the pressure, and therefore he steps in and gives Elaine a piece of his mind, chastising her for treating Linda so carelessly. Left with food for thought, Elaine decides to speak to Linda, who continues to play down her true feelings. And let's just say that she is overwhelmed. More Trending Will Elaine realise that Linda can't do everything on her own? Will she come to realise the error of her ways where Priya is concerned? Linda has been Walford's resident agony aunt over the past few months, always on hand to offer helpful advice to those in need. But can she get the help she needs from those around her?

EastEnders actor looks unrecognisable 15 years after character's dramatic death Charlie Clements shot to fame as Bradley Branning in EastEnders, but the actor has undergone a dramatic transformation since leaving the BBC One soap Charlie Clements as Bradley Branning in EastEnders (Image: BBC ) Charlie Clements, best known for his role as Bradley Branning in EastEnders, has surprised fans with a complete image overhaul, now donning glasses and a beard, which is a sharp departure from his clean-cut on-screen character. The transformation of the actor who debuted in the BBC One soap back in 2006 and made his dramatic exit in February 2010 is remarkable. Charlie's character had an unforgettable send-off from the long-running soap during its first live instalment, which commemorated EastEnders' 25th anniversary. In a gripping sequence, Bradley Branning met his end falling from the rooftop of the Queen Vic, while evading the police, after vowing to defend his wife Stacey who had killed her assailant Archie Mitchell.

Stunning Scottish isle used as setting for BBC's Walking With Dinosaurs
The isle stands in for prehistoric Alberta in Walking With Dinosaurs, home to deadly predators from 71 million years ago. Scotland's Isle of Skye, best known for its dramatic cliffs, medieval castles and fishing villages, has taken on a more ferocious role, as the ancient hunting ground of a pack of deadly predators from 71 million years ago. The rugged Hebridean landscape stands in for prehistoric Alberta, Canada in an episode of BBC One's recent hit series Walking With Dinosaurs . In episode four, titled The Pack, viewers met Rose, a young Albertosaurus brought to life using cutting-edge CGI, forensic science and some surprisingly low-tech tools. Albertosaurus, a distant and faster relative of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, is believed to have hunted in packs, making it one of the most formidable carnivores of the late Cretaceous period, Express reports. Palaeontologists uncovered Rose's fossilised remains in Drumheller, Alberta, and CT scanning was used to digitally reconstruct her brain and build a scientifically accurate model. But not all the production magic happened in high-tech labs. Behind the scenes, Skye stood in as the dramatic backdrop for Rose's on-screen adventures, offering terrain strikingly similar to that of ancient Alberta. 'There's a 'making-of' chapter in the book and what may be of interest is a lot of the background in what is shown as Alberta, Canada, was actually filmed on the Isle of Skye,' said Helen Thomas, senior executive producer of the series and co-author of the official companion book. Filming prehistoric giants amid Scotland's raw and windswept scenery came with its own challenges, not least the unusual sight of crew members wielding tennis balls and broomsticks to help visualise the dinosaurs. 'You take blue cut-outs of the heads of these creatures, which are quite large, and then a member of the production team will have a tennis ball or something representing the other end,' Helen explained. She added: 'You have people dressed all in blue and you've got them holding blue heads, and then you get somebody else with a broom pole with a blue tennis ball on top, that's there for the tip of the tail. "And the director of photography and the cameraman have to imagine what's in between and how that's moving.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

This inventive mix of imagination and science is at the heart of the BBC's ground-breaking series. Every detail is crafted to bring viewers as close as possible to the prehistoric world, while remaining rooted in scientific evidence. 'They have to have the most amazing imaginations and we have to make sure it's scientifically accurate,' said Helen. In the third episode, Band of Brothers, audiences met George, a heavily armoured juvenile Gastonia, who forms a herd with fellow youngsters in a bid to survive the looming threat of Utahraptor attacks. The companion book, Walking With Dinosaurs: Uncovering the Secret Stories of Prehistoric Life by Andrew Cohen, Helen Thomas and Kirsty Wilson (DK, £25), is available now.
