Remember Monday Speak Out About Getting Zero Points From Eurovision Viewers
Eurovision stars Remember Monday have insisted they are still on 'cloud nine' despite a mixed bag at this year's contest. On Saturday night, the British three-piece represented the UK at Eurovision with their song What The Hell Just Happened?, which finished in 19th place out of 26. While the girl group scored 88 points from the international juries, they failed to land any points at all from Eurovision voters in the televoting, the second consecutive time this has been the case for a UK act after Olly Alexander in 2024. During an interview with Lorraine Kelly earlier this week, the host brought up their zero score in the televoting, with the girls laughing off her displeased reaction. Lorraine then pointed out that their 88 points from the juries put them in the top 10 in that particular metric, to which Holly-Anne Hull reacted enthusiastically and Lauren Byrne agreed: 'Yeah. That's what we're taking from it.' Asked more generally about how they're feeling post-Eurovision, Charlotte Steele said it was an 'amazing' experience and that she and her bandmates are 'still on cloud nine'. Remember Monday may have finished one place lower than Olly Alexander did last year, but they also snagged more points than him from the international juries. They said in a group statement on Sunday that Eurovision had been the 'best experience of our lives', enthusing: 'To the Eurovision community, you will always hold a very very special place in our hearts, thank you for showing us so much love and support and making our dreams come true. We love you all SO MUCH!' Austrian singer JJ was crowned this year's winner, ahead of Israeli act Yuval Raphael who finished in second place. Since his win, JJ has added his voice to the debate around whether Israel should be removed from the Eurovision Song Contest due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Remember Monday star reveals she lost wedding ring at Eurovision: "I'm gonna have a breakdown"
A member of the UK's Eurovision entry Remember Monday has said she's lost her wedding and engagement rings in Basel. Following their performance at this year's contest, the country-pop trio took to Instagram on Sunday, where Holly-Anne Hull announced she'd lost her rings. In the clip, Hull and her bandmates, Lauren Byrne and Charlotte Steele, were sitting on a plane, seemingly leaving Switzerland, which hosted this year's competition. Parodying their song 'What The Hell Just Happened', which looks at the messy aftermath of a big night out, the trio said they were still wearing "last night's hair gel" and their knees hurt, before Hull added: "I'm gonna have a breakdown 'cause I've lost my wedding ring." Speaking on Capital FM's breakfast show after returning to the UK, Hull revealed she's luckily managed to retrieve her wedding ring, while her engagement one was nowhere to be found. Related: Best streaming services "Yep. It's my engagement ring. I found my wedding ring but my engagement ring is gone," she told host Chris Stark on Monday morning. "I honestly don't know where it is. I am so upset about it." Revealed in March as this year's ESC entry for the UK, Remember Monday ended up in 19th place with a total of 88 points, all of which came from the jury vote. In her Instagram Stories, Hull joked that receiving the coveted 12 points from Italian anthropomorphic mouse puppet Topo Gigio, who was the Italian spokes-rodent this year, was "the highlight of the evening". Much like last year's Olly Alexander, this year's UK entry didn't convince the audience, receiving zero points from the public vote. The only other country to receive zero points from the public was Switzerland, which hosted the competition. Related: Ahead of the big ESC week, Remember Monday weighed in on the UK Eurovision curse, saying they weren't looking at the UK's betting odds not to have their performance affected. "We're not doing it for the points," Hull told Metro in March. "We're doing it to watch that video back and be so proud of what we've done at that stage." "You look at the history within Eurovision, the amount of winners that were like 20th in the bookies' bets. It doesn't mean anything," Steele noted, before Byrne joked: "You hear that bookies?"

Eurovision's Remember Monday singer's wedding ring ‘goes missing' during show
Eurovision stars Remember Monday had more than just nil points to worry about on Saturday night. The UK's representation for the weekend's festivities – made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele – were left gutted after their song What The Hell Just Happened failed to impress. They scored a shocking zero points from the public after a score of 88 from the jury, but there was almost double heartbreak behind the scenes. When former West End star Holly-Anne got backstage after their Grand Final performance, she discovered her gold band – and several other items of jewellery – had gone missing. 'A few items were missing and no one seemed to know where they went. It was obviously very upsetting,' a source told The Sun. Fortunately for Holly-Anne – who got married to her partner Craig in 2023 – it's said the jewellery was thankfully found, and it appears to be nothing more than an innocent mistake.

Austria's entry JJ ended up in the top spot after a tense showdown with Israel's protested entry Yuval Rapheal. After the UK's poor showing, Remember Monday shared a statement about their 'surreal and emotional' experience. The post reads: '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.' More Trending They insisted the contest is 'just the beginning for Remember Monday', with the promise of new tunes and an upcoming UK and Ireland headline tour in 2025. 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!'
