The UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has already been selected, as revealed by radio personality Scott Mills. With a long-standing reputation in the radio industry, Mills has recently taken over the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show from Zoe Ball. During this transition, he shared an exciting piece of news regarding the UK's Eurovision entry.
Mills, in a conversation with newsreader Tina Daheley, mentioned that he had a unique opportunity to preview the UK's chosen Eurovision song. Although bound by secrecy regarding the identity of the act, Mills did express his enthusiasm for the selection, stating, "Can’t say who it was by… I mean I can’t say anything. They locked me in a room," before teasingly adding, "It’s good!"
The BBC has confirmed that the official announcement of both the act and the song representing the UK will occur before the European Broadcasting Union's deadline in March 2025. This strategic timing allows the UK to position itself effectively within the Eurovision landscape. Meanwhile, other countries have already begun to confirm their representatives and entries for the upcoming contest.
David May, the lead figure in the search for the UK's entry, remarked about his collaborative efforts with the BBC team to find a suitable contestant. According to reports, May emphasized the goal of identifying talent and a song that truly represents the essence of UK music. He stated, "We’re seeking talent and a song that embodies the essence of UK music. We want to collaborate with an authentic act who has a genuine, heartfelt story to tell, and an unmatched vocal sanity and range."
In a recent development, Liverpool-born X Factor finalist Rebecca Ferguson mentioned in a TikTok Live session that she had received invitations to perform at Eurovision. However, these invitations were extended by countries other than the UK, highlighting the international interest in her talent.
The upcoming Eurovision 2025 will be held in Basel, Switzerland, following the victory of the Swiss entrant, Nemo, in 2024. Nemo, a groundbreaking non-binary artist, captured the audience's attention with their powerful song "The Code," earning the opportunity to bring the contest to Switzerland. The semi-finals are scheduled for May 13 and 15, with the grand final set for May 17 at the St Jakobshalle arena.
Scott Mills has been a prominent figure in the UK music and radio scene for years. Recently, he celebrated his marriage to Sam Vaughan in a glamorous ceremony in Spain in June 2024. This personal milestone coincides with his professional achievements, including his role in unveiling details about the UK's Eurovision preparations.
While the specifics of the UK entry remain under wraps, fans eagerly anticipate the announcement. Eurovision enthusiasts are known for their passionate support and love for the contest, and each year's selection process generates significant excitement.
For now, Eurovision fans can only speculate about who will take the stage for the UK. The anticipation builds as listeners of BBC Radio 2 and audiences across the nation wait for the reveal. The Eurovision Song Contest remains a beloved cultural event that brings together diverse musical talents from across Europe and beyond, celebrating unity through music.
