Who are Remember Monday? Meet UK Eurovision 2025 entry
It's time for the final!
The Eurovision 2025 grand final is upon us, with girl group Remember Monday ready to show they have what it takes to walk away from the competition victorious.
It has been 28 years since the United Kingdom last won the song contest, and with a close call in 2022, could the odds be in our favour to go all the way?
The girls last took to the stage at the second semi-final on Thursday night, which unveiled a multi-narrative spectacle that mirrors the lyrical journey of their Eurovision entry along with a shattered chandelier at the centre of the stage to nod to the chaos of the night before as hinted in the song.
"We use the whole of the stage and we chase the girls around with cameras and it's [all] about energy," the band's creative director Ace Bowerman exclusively told RadioTimes.com.
"With this song, obviously we have all the tempo changes, so it's really just bringing that to life in the performance."
Comprised of three best friends, Remember Monday are hoping to impress the countries and audiences alike with their performance.
As fans wait to find out how they fare and if they can win the competition, read on for everything you need to know about Remember Monday, the UK's Eurovision entry for 2025.

What has Remember Monday said about representing the UK at Eurovision 2025?
When they were confirmed to be this year's UK act, Remember Monday said: "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. We're going to be the first girlband to represent for the UK since 1999, which feels like such a crazy honour.
"We're going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won't have seen before on the Eurovision stage… We honestly can’t wait to experience this with all of the other incredible artists from around the world, and hopefully make everyone back at home feel proud! This is really the music World Cup and we'll do our best to bring it home!"
At an event for their live rendition of their Eurovision song, the band added: "We've been really trying to stay present. Everyone that we've spoken to that has either done Eurovision before, or our team has just been like, 'Just try and take each day as it comes'. And it's kind of nice because we've got the point where Eurovision doesn't feel like May 17th.
"It's kind of the entire run-up and everything, every experience between no and then. It's just so surreal and wonderful. We're just so happy to be a part of it."
What is the UK's Eurovision 2025 song called?
Remember Monday will represent the UK with their song What The Hell Just Happened?. The song was co-written with Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie 'Kill J' Aagaard.
The song "chronicles the aftermath of a fun night out with friends, it perfectly showcases the band’s humour, relatability and their signature harmonies".
Their performance is being staged by creative director Ace Bowerman - who has worked with the likes of Dua Lipa, Fred Again and Ed Sheeran.
So it's fair to say they are pulling out all the stops!
