Shop floor to main stage for Eurovision hope

A FORMER clothes shop worker from north London today said it was “a dream” after being selected to represent the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Mae Muller, 25, from Kentish Town, will perform at the event in Liverpool with the track I Wrote A Song following a search by the BBC and global management company TaP Music.

TaP was behind selecting Sam Ryder as the UK entrant for the 2022 event, where he changed the country’s fortunes and came second behind Ukraine.
