Becky Hill has shut down rumours that she’ll be representing the UK at Eurovision 2025.The 69th Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Basel, Switzerland, with the final taking place in May 2025.

This comes after Nemo clinched victory for Switzerland at Eurovision 2024 with their track ‘The Code’. It marked the nation’s first win since 1988, as well as the first-ever non-binary winner of Eurovision.Now, ahead of next year’s instalment, the BBC is searching for the next act who will represent the UK, and has enlisted the help of Sam Ryder’s manager David May to scout for talent.No name has currently been announced, but there’s recently been speculation that Hill was in the running after a Eurovision fan news Instagram account shared a post calling her a “possible UK representative”.The pop singer promptly dismissed the claims, however, commenting: “hahaha who told you this?

it’s bollocks i’m afraid, i’m not doing eurovision x”She then went on to share the post to her Instagram story, writing: “this is bollocks btw, I’ve been asked before and my answer hasn’t changed, it’s a resounding no x”A post shared by EUROVISION NEWS (@esc_news_) Earlier this year, former Years & Years singer Olly Alexander performed the song ‘Dizzy’ at the competition and finished 18th out of 25 countries.

He earned just 46 points from the jury, but none from the voting public.Mae Muller’s finished second from last in 2023 after performing her track ‘I Wrote A Song’ last year, and before then, the UK also scored nul points in 2021, and finished in last place in 2019.Prior to that, in 2022 Ryder pulled the most impressive results in recent memory for the UK – coming in second place, just behind Ukraine.
