Eurovision: Remember Monday singer says she's lost wedding ring after contest
A member of the UK's Eurovision entry Remember Monday says she lost her wedding ring in video posted the morning after their Basel performance."I've lost my wedding ring and my engagement ring," Holly-Anne Hull said in a video posted on Instagram on Sunday. In the video, the singer and her two bandmates are sat on a plane, seemingly leaving Switzerland. Hull did not give further details, such as where she might have lost the ring or when it happened.The country-pop trio came 19th of the 26 countries in this year's Eurovision Song Contest with their track What The Hell Just Happened.
Hull got married in Surrey in June 2023. In the video posted on Instagram the group parodied the lyrical style of their entry - which tells the tale of the morning after a big night out - saying they are still wearing "last night's hair gel" and their knees hurt. before Hull jokes: "I'm gonna have a breakdown 'cause I've lost my wedding ring."Lauren Byrne adds the trio are "so grateful" for their supporters and Charlotte Steele says their fans are "amazing".Remember Monday got 88 points on Saturday night, all of which were from the jury - like last year's entrant Olly Alexander, the band received no points from the public vote.Austrian singer JJ won the competition with his electro-ballad Wasted Love, with a total of 436 votes, after beating Israel at the last minute.Estonia came third, followed by Sweden, which had been the frontrunner going into Saturday night. The country's entrant, comedy troupe KAJ, performed Bara Bada Bastu, a song about saunas, which has has topped Swedish music charts for three months.
Though Remember Monday's song performed poorly with the public vote, the group came joint 10th in the jury vote, along with Finland, and Italy even gave the UK its 12 points. The trio, who all have musical theatre backgrounds, danced around a giant chandelier in Bridgerton-inspired colourful dresses as they sang about the aftermath of a big night out, where they lost their keys, broke their heels and went to bed in their make-up. The BBC's music correspondent Mark Savage wrote that the band "got a lot of things right" and "hit every harmony in their song... with pinpoint precision". But the public was less convinced. Only one other country, host nation Switzerland, got zero from the public vote.Remember Monday, who met at sixth-form college in Farnborough studying performing arts, have been friends for 12 years, and quit their jobs in late 2023 to be in the band full-time. They were announced as the UK's Eurovision entry in March.Earlier this month the group announced a UK and Ireland tour, and are performing at events including the Capital Summertime Ball, Latitude festival and the Isle of Wight Festival this summer.They called Saturday night "one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives".

Paul Hollywood has recalled a baking horror story in which a friend became tearful after he judged one of their bakes. Appearing on Wednesday's (4 June) episode of The One Show, the Great British Bake Off judge told an anecdote about a companion who, after baking their own birthday cake, wanted his opinion. Hollywood revealed that he didn't hold back, offering up a similar level of criticism he might give a contestant on the Channel 4 show — but this was at the friend's insistence. "Do it like you do on Bake Off," Hollywood said the friend told him.

SUPERMODEL Naomi Campbell is bead-dazzled as she looks brilliant in baubles for Dazed magazine. The London-born catwalk queen tells the mag's Celebration Issue that, even at 55, she still strives to be better. She said: 'I never said I was perfect. 3 " I'm a work in progress. I can't please everybody. "All that I do is transparent and I am very loyal to the people I love. "I care about the people I love. "I value my long relationships. "In friendships, I don't have time for the word 'frivolous'. "I don't associate with that word, it's not who I am. "When I care, I care… but don't mistake my kindness for weakness.' Naomi began her modelling career when she was just eight-years-old. She went on to become the first black woman to grace the cover of Vogue France and Time magazine in America. Naomi has spent decades on catwalks around the globe but last month she opened up about being nervous before taking to the stage with Usher.

Legendary dating show set to return after 22 years - with Holly Willoughby, Davina McCall or Claudia Winkleman in the running to host
Blind Date is set to make a sensational return to TV after 22 years away from screens. The legendary dating show - famously hosted by the late Cilla Black from 1985 to 2003 - is eyeing up Claudia Winkleman, Holly Willoughby or Davina McCall to host the revival. Originally, rumours suggested the ITV hit would make a comeback on BBC but now sources claim the love-match show will reboot on Disney+. An insider told The Sun: 'Although there's likely to be some modern twists, the bosses very much want to keep the essence of the original. 'There'll be key elements returning, including the famous sliding wall. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The legendary dating show - famously hosted by the late Cilla Black from 1985 to 2003 - hopes to get Davina (pictured) in the mix 'Plus there will be a prize up for grabs of a wedding package, which echoes Cilla's famous gag whenever couples had enjoyed a successful date, and she used to ask, "Do I need to buy an 'at for the wedding?"' MailOnline has contacted Disney+ for comment. In March, former This Morning host Holly was tipped to become the next Cilla, with the presenter lining up a string of big-money deals worth up to £10million. The revival was previously being considered by Holly's husband Dan Baldwin, and the star had previously stepped into Cilla's shoes when she hosted a reboot of Surprise Surprise. An insider told The Sun at the time: 'There might not sound like obvious parallels between Holly and Cilla, but they're both two of the biggest stars of modern telly. 'Emulating Cilla isn't just about taking on her shows, it's as much about carving out a niche as a solo presenter with serious clout in the world of telly. 'But together with her husband Dan, they form the ultimate power couple in TV. She has the public appeal that gets viewers tuning in, while he has a track record of making hugely successful TV shows.' When asked about other shows he'd love to reboot, Dan suggested Blind Date, saying: 'Another one you'd like to see back, Blind Date, are we ready for that? What a Saturday night that was. I'm thinking Blind Date with Claudia Winkleman on BBC1.' A cheaper location was also being sought, as well as plans for fewer expensive celebrities after the likes of Spice Girl Mel B and tennis player Boris Becker were among the 12 stars in the first series Cilla was also married to a big figure in the TV industry, with her husband Robert 'Bobby' Willis, taking over as her manager after Brian Epstein's death in 1967, and negotiating her deal with LWT, that made her one of TV's highest-paid stars. During Blind Date's final year, Cilla was said to be earning £17,000 a week, or £884,000 a year, which is the equivalent of £2million in today's money. Holly had also praised Cilla for being a huge trailblazer for TV presenters in the 1980s and 1990s. The legendary star died in 2015 aged 72. And it appears Holly now has the time for another hosting stint after her Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt was axed after one season. The programme, which was set in Costa Rica and was hosted by Holly alongside Bear Grylls, will not return despite the star saying that he was hopeful it would. Sources close to the show which aired in February told the Mail that while the ratings did well it was expensive to make and Netflix are now planning to do more live events rather than pre-recorded shows. One told MailOnline: 'Everyone was very proud of the show but when it came to it, it was just so expensive to make. You had to have a whole set in Costa Rica, loads of staff and loads of celebrities. The overheads were eyewatering.' It is understood that cheaper locations were looked at but nothing was appeared to be suitable.
