The Eurovision UK act has been revealed as country girl band Remember Monday ahead of the 69th song contest which will take place in Basel, Switzerland in May.
The band, comprising of Charlotte, Holly and Lauren, will perform their song What The Hell Just Happened? in a bid to compete for Eurovision glory.
The group are a trio of best friends, who have earned a reputation for their strong vocals and perfectly blended harmonies.
Remember Monday first hit TV screens in 2019 when they found fame after reaching the Quarter-Finals on The Voice UK.
Earlier today, the band confirmed their bid for Eurovision when they appeared as guests on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.
After weeks of waiting, Scott broke the news, saying: ‘It ain’t a Eurovision entry until I say it is. I am so ready to get behind the act that is representing us and I know you’re going to adore them. They are genuinely brilliant and really lovely.’

Remember Monday are set to make their first TV appearance since announcing their place on The One Show on Friday and will reveal the official music video for the track.
Remember Monday’s Eurovision entry song What The Hell Just Happened? chronicles the aftermath of a fun night out with friends.
Their entry into the competition marks the first time a girlband will represent the UK for the first time since 1999.
The song, which is out now, is an upbeat pop track full of energy, excitement and drama and was co-written by Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie ‘Kill J’ Aagaard.
The girls look set to be onto a winning formula as BRIT Award nominees, Billen Ted, have worked with Little Mix, Anne Marie, MNEK and Armin van Buuren to name a few.
Thomas Stengaard previously wrote Denmark’s 2013 Eurovision winning song Only Teardrops. Meanwhile, Julie ‘Kill J’ Aagaard is both a multi-platinum songwriter and a successful experimental pop artist in her own right.
As well as their own brand of empowering pop, Remember Monday have become renowned for their viral melodies on social media. They’ve amassed over half a million loyal followers and 11.3 million likes on TikTok alone.
The band have skilfully crafted playful acapella takes on the songs of a wide range of artists from Sabrina Carpenter, Queen and Shania Twain, to Wicked.

Remember Monday are no strangers to performing in front of live audiences. Friends since they met at sixth form in 2013, they are regulars on the music festival circuit, and last year played their first sellout tour across the UK.
The girls all quit their day jobs in 2023 to pursue the band full time and have previously appeared in West End productions.
This includes Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera (Holly), Mary Poppins (Charlotte), and Matilda (Lauren), who also had a lead role in the SIX tour.
To date, Remember Monday have released two EPs and twelve singles with a focus on their epic three-way harmonies and clever, heartfelt and authentic songwriting.
With growing radio, press and media support, the band received national radio play on Scott Mills’ Afternoon Show on BBC Radio 2 in 2024.
Their coach on the Voice, Jennifer Hudson, continues to mentor and support the band, inviting them to perform on her US chat show last year.
Remember Monday say: ‘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.
‘When you’re a kid and people ask you what you want to be when you grow up, an absolute classic is ‘I wanna be a pop star’, so the fact that we’re getting the chance to live that dream as three best friends is just wild.
