Everything you need to know about the UK's Eurovision entry Remember Monday

It's officially May, which means only one thing - it's Eurovision month!

Over the next week, thousands of Eurovision fans will descend on the Swiss city of Basel for this year's Song Contest, following non-binary star Nemo's groundbreaking win in Malmö last year.

Now, a new host of acts will take to the stage to represent their countries in a bid to win the coveted Eurovision trophy, as well as having the right to host the competition next year.

Following Olly Alexander's 18th place finish in 2024, the UK has now put its hopes in country pop girl band Remember Monday and their song, What The Hell Just Happened?

Here's everything you need to know about the trio ahead of this year's anticipated competition.

Remember Monday is made up of friends Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, who met while studying together at The Sixth Form College Farnborough.

They formed a band in 2013, known as Houston, before changing their name to Remember Monday in 2018, as they had free lesson periods that day where they could sing together.

As well as singing, the trio have also explored musical theatre. Holly notably appeared in The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables, while Lauren played Miss Honey in Matilda, and Charlotte played Jane Banks in Mary Poppins.

Remember Monday appeared together on the 2019 series of The Voice UK, where they sang Seal's 1994 hit, Kiss from a Rose, at their audition. All four judges turned around, with the group later choosing Jennifer Hudson as their mentor as she was the only woman on the panel.

The trio beat Kieron Smith during the Battle round, but were sadly eliminated during the Knockout stages after performing one of their own tracks, titled Jailbreaker.

Following their stint on The Voice, the band left their jobs in September 2023 to pursue music full time.

They later reunited with their former mentor, Jennifer, on her US chat show in 2024, where they performed a rendition of Alanis Morissette's 1995 hit, Hand in My Pocket.

Remember Monday were announced as the UK's 2025 Eurovision entry back in February. They are the first girl band to represent the UK in 26 years.

Their song, What The Hell Just Happened?, chronicles the aftermath of a messy night night, leaning into the 80s pop and rock sphere.

The group co-wrote the track with songwriting duo Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Julie "Kill J" Aagaard and Thomas Stengaard - who notably wrote Denmark's 2013 Eurovision winner, Only Teardrops.

Speaking after the announcement, the group said: "What The Hell Just Happened is exactly how we're feeling right now! It's all very surreal. Our friendship goes so far back, and we definitely never imagined that we'd be doing anything like this."

They continued: "We're going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won't have seen before on the Eurovision stage.

"We honestly can't wait to experience this with all the other incredible artists from around the world, and hopefully make everyone back at home feel proud! This is really the music World Cup and we'll do our best to bring it home!"

The Eurovision Grand Final will air on Saturday, May 17 at 8pm on BBC One
