Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 next month, the BBC have announced a one-off interview where UK commentator Graham Norton will be speaking to the UK representatives Remember Monday.
The interview will go out at 22:40 UK time on the 9th of May on both BBC One and BBC iPlayer. This will mark the beginning of the Eurovision week for the BBC, with the semi finals following on Tuesday and Thursday night.
‘When Graham Met Remember Monday’ will go into depth on the girls’ careers to this point as well as covering all the promotion they have done around Europe in the build up to the contest.
This will be the third year that the BBC have provided an in depth interview with the UK representative. However the previous 2 years the interview had been released to coincide with the entry release rather than to mark the start of the contest itself. Graham had also interviewed Olly Alexander in 2024 whereas Mae Muller was interviewed by Scott Mills in 2023.
Remember Monday will be representing the United Kingdom this year with their entry “What The Hell Just Happened?”. The entry was internally selected by the BBC and formally revealed on the 7th of March. As a member of the Big 5, the United Kingdom will automatically perform in the Grand Final on Saturday the 17th of May.
