Who will represent the UK in Eurovision 2025 and who are the previous entries?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE UK has had a chequered history of success in the Eurovision Song Contest, including five wonderful wins and two notorious nil points. Here get to know the group representing these shores this year, as well as taking a look back at the UK's most notable entries over the years. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 15 Remember Monday is the first girl group to represent the UK since Precious in 1999 Credit: Corinne Cumming/EBU 15 Their theatrical entry is titled What The Hell Just Happened? Who is representing Great Britain at Eurovision 2025? The Sun exclusively revealed in February 2025 that the UK would be represented at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest by girl group Remember Monday. Made up of members Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, the country-pop trio may be new to Eurovision, but this isn't the first time they've performed on a big stage. The girl band performed in front of Olly Murs, Jennifer Hudson and Sir Tom Jones when they took part in The Voice 2019. Remember Monday has also performed at several major UK events including Country to Country, The Long Road and Buckle and Boots. They previously supported Billy Joel and Natasha Beddingfield on tour — before embarking on their very own UK tour. Joining Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2, band member Lauren Bryne explained: "We met at sixth form college a few years ago and, essentially, we always had free periods on a Monday which is when we just used to get together and sing. Lauren continued: ''That turned into us singing every single day of the week and not going to our classes and our teacher used to come and find us in random spare classrooms and knock on the door and be like, 'Girls are you coming into class today?' and we were like, 'No Jenny, we're just going to stay in here, sorry!' "So we did that for years and years and it kind of became a little in joke that it was always happening on a Monday so that's where Remember Monday was born and, yeah, about a year and a bit ago, we packed in the day job and went full time and it's going OK! [laughs]. Here we are.'' Who are our nation's previous notable entries? 2022 - Sam Ryder 15 Eurovision made Sam Ryder a millionaire Sam Ryder represented the UK with his song Space Man at the edition of the competition in Turin, Italy. He was selected internally by the BBC and TaP Music, marking a shift in the UK's approach to Eurovision after years of disappointing results. The singer-songwriter from Essex co-wrote Space Man with Amy Wadge and Max Wolfgang. The song quickly became a fan favourite and was praised for its positive energy and strong composition At Eurovision, Sam Ryder delivered a standout performance that captivated both the jury and the public. He finished in second place with a total of 466 points, winning the jury vote with 283 points and achieving the highest score ever for a UK entrant in the contest. 2013 - Bonnie Tyler 15 Bonnie represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 Credit: Getty Bonnie came to prominence with the release of her 1977 album The World Starts Tonight and its singles Lost In France and More Than A Lover. Tyler's biggest hit is Total Eclipse Of The Heart, the lead single from her 1983 UK chart topping album Faster Than the Speed of Night.

The boys have released some massive hits, which include All Rise, Too Close, If You Come Back and Fly By. 1997- Katrina And The Waves 15 Katrina And The Waves sang Love Shine a Light Credit: Reuters The UK last triumphed at Eurovision in 1997 with Katrina And The Waves. Their song was called Love Shine A Light and it received a whopping 227 points. The band was formed of Katrina Leskanich, Kimberley Rew, Vince de la Cruz and Alex Cooper. The band's previously big hit was in 1985 with Walking On Sunshine. 1981 - Bucks Fizz 15 Bucks Fizz received the most points in 1981 Credit: BBC Bucks Fizz received the most points in 1981. The four-piece, made up of Cheryl Baker, Bobby G, Mike Nolan and Jay Aston, performed Making Your Mind Up, complete with colourful outfits and tearaway skirts. The song was one of three of the band's UK number one singles. In 1985 Jay Aston quit the group to be replaced by Shelley Preston. 1976 - Brotherhood Of Man 15 In 1976 Brotherhood Of Man triumphed with Save Your Kisses For Me Credit: Alamy In 1976 Brotherhood Of Man triumphed with Save Your Kisses For Me.

His second appearance was at the 1973 contest, where he performed Power To All Our Friends and came in third place. 1969 - Lulu 15 Lulu sang Boom Bang-a-Bang Credit: Getty Two years after Sandie's win, Lulu triumphed in 1969 in Madrid. Lulu sang Boom Bang-a-Bang but her win wasn't without controversy. France, The Netherlands and Spain tied with The UK on 18 points and there were no rules in place to decide an overall winner. All four countries were declared winners but Finland, Norway, Sweden and Portugal did not participate in the 1970 Contest as a protest against the result the following year. The rules were then changed to make sure the situation never happened again. 1967 - Sandie Shaw 15 The UK's first ever winner was Sandie Shaw Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd The UK's first ever winner was Sandie Shaw with the track Puppet On A String in 1967, which was hosted that year in Vienna.

Miriana has even been giving out skimpy thongs featuring her song ahead of the contest in in Basel, Switzerland. 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.' We take a look back at the raciest Eurovision moments in history, where sexy costumes and X-rated performances left viewers choking on their popcorn.

After releasing a video before the contest, which featured busty milkmaids, cleavage close-ups and a naked woman getting soapy in a barrel, the group put on a raunchy performance for the show itself. The Hip Hop singers wore low-cut milkmaid outfits and danced alongside a sexy siren who churned butter in a truly suggestive manner. The performance even left TV host Graham Norton speechless. The act remains as one of the most memorable of all time, with viewers divided over the raunchy performance.

Then a pair of tiny denim shorts descended from the roof for him to wear but, while he was gyrating around, multiple viewers thought they caught a glimpse of his genitals and the performance went viral on X. One tweeted: "Finland getting their penis out mid-performance wasn't on my family's Eurovision bingo card." While another said: 'There could be kids watching! This is just straight up creepy like wtf.'
