Remember Monday break silence on crushing Eurovision snub with emotional statement
The UK girl group came 19th place in the Eurovision Grand Final.
UK’s Eurovision entry Remember Monday has addressed their fans after crashing out in 19th place at the 2025 song contest.
The girl group, made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, faced a disappointing Saturday night at the Grand Final after their song, What the Hell Just Happened, failed to impress.
They eventually secured a shocking zero points from the public, ending with a total of 88 points bolstered by the jury score.
As for the victor, Austria’s entry JJ ended up in the top spot after a tense showdown with Israel’s protested entry Yuval Rapheal.
Now, in a new statement, the group has reflected on the ‘surreal and emotional night’ and teased their plans for the future.
The statement reads: ‘WOW – what a ride! Three best mates walked onto the world’s biggest music stage and came out with a Top 10 Jury score, massive streaming numbers, and memories that will last a lifetime.

The love we’ve felt from fans, our incredible team, and everyone who streamed, voted, and believed in us has been overwhelming.
‘This is just the beginning for Remember Monday. We’ve got new music coming your way, a UK & Ireland headline tour this year, a summer packed with festivals, and we’ll be hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball… no big deal!
‘We’re so grateful for the platform, the media support, and every single new fan who’s joined us on this wild journey. Eurovision? Completed it. Let’s go!’
The UK girl group received a total of 88 points, totally annihilating the previous curse of our acts finishing with ‘nil points.’
Although that did not change with the addition of the viewer vote, as the trio received nothing from the public, placing them 19th, just one position behind 2024 entry Olly Alexander.
After a show-stopping performance, Austria was ultimately crowned victorious with their entrant, JJ.
The 24-year-old performer’s tune Wasted Love showcased incredible vocals, and he now follows in the footsteps of previous Austrian wins, including drag artist Conchita Wurst in 2014 with Rise Like A Phoenix, and 1966’s Udo Jurgens with Merci Cherie.
In a press conference after the victory, JJ told Metro and other publications what it meant to be the third LGBTQ+ winner in a row, and the third for Austria.
He said: I’m so, so, so happy that I’m representing this amazing community, and that love is strong, and that we’re really continuing to fight for our rights.’
The Eurovision Grand Final is available to catch up on BBC iPlayer.
