, the face of the UK's commentary, has heaped praise on Remember Monday, the UK's act for this year's song contest. Described as "flawless" by the celebrated host, the group is set to dazzle audiences just days before the grand final.

The excitement is mounting as Eurovision makes its return to its birthplace, Switzerland, with the Graham once again at the helm for the BBC's final coverage on Saturday May 17.

Taking charge from the commentator's box within the arena, Graham will provide his signature blend of witty insights and commentary for viewers as the competition intensifies.

With 26 nations competing-amongst them the United Kingdom-all eyes are set on clinching the prestigious title of Eurovision champion.

Switzerland last hosted the spectacular musical event 36 years ago, a fact that hasn't escaped Graham's notice. The host said: "I know nothing about the plans for the Grand Final yet, but when it's a country like Switzerland that haven't hosted for 36 years, I suspect they are going to pull out all the stops! I can't wait to see what they have in store," reports .

But before they reach the grand stage, hopeful acts must navigate the semi-finals scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, and Thursday, May 15.

The coveted "Big Five" status ensures the United Kingdom's presence in the final, guaranteeing Remember Monday their spot under the spotlight come Saturday evening.

Poised to make history, Remember Monday is the first female trio representing Britain since Precious graced Eurovision with their presence in 1999.

Graham added: "Remember Monday have a great advantage in that they are unlike any other act this year. Their vocals and harmonies are flawless, the song has a very strong hook and the trio are hugely likeable. With a decent place in the running order they should do very well indeed."

Additionally, he predicted success for other artists: "It's a big year for party anthems and the two that stand out for me are Miriana Conte representing Malta, and EMMY for Ireland with an unlikely banger about an immortal dog."

Looking to Italy's entry, Graham added: "Cutting through all the noise I think Italy might have a good year with a classic rock ballad performed by Lucio Corsi."

It comes as the UK has had a rollercoaster ride when it comes to Eurovision. The country has soared with Bucks Fizz's skirt-ripping glory and Lulu's swinging sixties triumph.

However, in more recent years, it's been more nul points than national pride.

That is, until Sam Ryder defied the odds and bagged second place in 2022, restoring a glimmer of hope for the UK's pop prospects on the global stage.
