Eurovision’s Remember Monday star fights tears live on air ahead of semi-final

Remember Monday joined Richard Arnold live from Basel on Thursday morning ahead of their live preview performance during tonight’s second semi-final

With just days to go until the Eurovision final, Richard Arnold headed to Basel with Good Morning Britain. This morning he was talking to UK hopefuls Remember Monday, and things got emotional for member Charlotte as the host surprised her with a heart warming video.

Charlotte, who is a former deputy head of sixth form, was seen fighting tears as Richard showed her a video of her students singing their Eurovision final song What The Hell Just Happened?

Halfway through the interview, Richard said: “Charlotte, we’ve got a special message for you,” as Charlotte responded: “I was a deputy head of a Sixth Form and they are like my second family, they’re amazing!”

Richard then responded: “Well if you look at this I think you’ll feel that they feel the same.”

“Awww, I just love them, look at them!” she gushed. “I hope that I inspire them by doing this. I love them!”

Elsewhere in the interview, the girls announced they were feeling anxious ahead of Saturday night’s grand final. “Today is the first time we’ve felt a little bit anxious because it’s real now!”
