GIRL POWER

REMEMBER MONDAY CHAT TO CHARLOTTE MCLAUGHLIN ABOUT THEIR HOPES FOR EUROVISION

- 

COUNTRY music group Remember Monday face a daunting prospect at next week's 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.

As the first all-female act to represent the UK since 1999, they enter after other Brit hopefuls have endured more than two decades of mainly gloomy results.

During the last five years, there have been bright spots with TikTok star Sam Ryder soaring to success with Space Man, earning second place in Turin in 2022.

His social media stardom, theatrical staging and unrelenting upbeat personality were credited with the stunning result, and these are all things that the trio of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele also seem to have in spades.

Watching them interact at their tea party-themed launch in the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the girl group laugh and joke, and appear unlikely to be affected by haters online.

In fact the trio often use their strong voices to turn the worst social media comments into harmonised vocal songs.

As Holly-Anne, 30, explains, they are "used to high-pressured environments as a band and as individuals" because they come from a musical theatre background.

Laughing, she says: "We're so happy and we're so loving this experience, that the odd negative comment isn't going in... and as annoying [as] that might be for the person commenting], it's going over our heads because we're reading the good stuff, (and that's] going in, which I guess is ideal.
