Remember Monday celebrate until sunrise despite awkward Eurovision result
UK hopefuls Remember Monday were out to celebrate following their Eurovision Song Contest defeat, with one band member partying until 6am 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."

Austria sweeps to Eurovision victory after nail-biting finish
Austria has won the 69th annual Eurovision Song Contest, after an almost four-hour long telecast featuring fireworks and songs in 20 different languages, and a brutal semi-final in which Australia was eliminated. In an extraordinary photo-finish to the competition, Israel was dominating the leaderboard by a margin of 99 points. But in a final twist, global TV audience votes handed Austria 178 points, and confirmation of the win. The final score was Austria with 436 points, followed by Israel (357), Estonia (356), Sweden (321), Italy (256), Greece (231), France (230), Albania (218), Ukraine (218) and Switzerland (214). Australia's Eurovision hopes were dashed earlier this week when singer Marty Zambotto, known by the stage name Go-Jo, was ousted from the competition in a shock finish to a hotly contested second semi-final. Zambotto delivered a winning performance but found himself in a perfect storm of strategic challenges: a second semi-final heavily loaded with strong performances and 16 competing countries, requiring that almost a third of the countries in that semi-final be eliminated. Despite the loss, Zambotto was upbeat. 'We put so much work and effort in, I know I could not have worked harder,' he said. The 29-year-old West Australian-born singer remained a favourite with fans, performing to a packed Euroclub the night after his elimination. Iconic former Eurovision winner Celine Dion appeared in a pre-taped segment earlier this week, describing Eurovision as 'a life-changing moment for me, and I am so thankful for everyone who supported me. [Switzerland] is a country that believed in me and gave me a chance to be a part of something extraordinary.' The competition semi-final heats and grand final have been staged in Basel's St Jakobshalle arena. As late as the live final telecast, rumours persisted that Dion would appear in the adjacent St Jakob-Park football stadium, but the rumoured surprise appearance did not eventuate.
