Remember Monday, the UK's entry for Eurovision 2025, have issued a defiant message after receiving a disappointing public vote in the competition's grand final on Saturday.
The talented trio, Charlotte Steele, Holly-Anne Hull, and Lauren Byrne, represented the United Kingdom with their powerful performance.
Despite a strong jury showing, they were left stunned after receiving zero points from viewers, resulting in a dramatic slide down the leaderboard.

Reacting to the moment, Eurovision commentator Graham Norton said during the broadcast: "We couldn't have asked for more," praising the girls' stage presence and vocal talents.
Fans online were quick to voice their shock. One viewer wrote on social media: "Remember Monday deserved better. Their performance was energetic and full of personality. Absolutely loved them!"
Another fan commented: "They might have got zero points from viewers, but they've gained thousands of new fans. Brilliant performance!"

Their message teased: "We've got new music coming your way, a UK and 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!"
