While girl group Remember Monday managed to climb to 19th place on the Eurovision leaderboard with 88 points from the jury vote, they were left gutted after being handed absolutely nothing from those watching at home

The UK’s Eurovision act Remember Monday have broken their silence after receiving receiving a brutal nul points from the public.

While the girl group managed to climb to 19th place with 88 points from the jury vote, they were left gutted after being handed absolutely nothing from those watching at home during Saturday night’s final.

However, they have vowed that “this is just the beginning” as they spoke out on Sunday morning.They said in a statement to the Mirror: “WOW – what a ride! Three best mates walked onto the world’s biggest music stage and came out with a Top 10 Jury score, massive streaming numbers, and memories that will last a lifetime.

“Performing at Eurovision was one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives. The love we’ve felt from fans, our incredible team, and everyone who streamed, voted, and believed in us has been overwhelming.

“This is just the beginning for Remember Monday. We’ve got new music coming your way, a UK & 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!

“We’re so grateful for the platform, the media support, and every single new fan who’s joined us on this wild journey. Eurovision? Completed it. Let’s go! Charlotte, Holly and Lauren x.”

Speaking on the night of their performance, commentator Graham Norton said: “We couldn’t have asked for more.”

Over on Twitter, viewers were picking up on the West End vibes the girls gave off. “Say all you want about this song being just a random West End number, you cannot deny that Remember Monday’s chemistry together on stage is immaculate,” one wrote. “They really look like they’re having the time of their lives on the #eurovision stage!”

It was a intense night as fans waited to see who won as Israel and Austria battled it out as the top two. Austria’s JJ performed Wasted Love while controversial Israeli entrant was runner up.

The singer, real name Johannes Pietsch, went for a black and white staging in Basel, Switzerland, which looked like a boat trip as he sang about someone he cared about being overwhelmed.

“I want to thank my entire family, my entire team, thank you so much for making my dreams come true. And especially to you Europe, thank you for making my dreams come true,” JJ said.

“Love is the strongest force in the world. Let’s spread more love. Thank you so much.” He then performed ‘Wasted Love’ again.

Viewers took to social media to comment, as one said on X: “Thank f**k for that !! Well done Austria.” Another said: “Phew, well done Austria.”

Other notable performances included Maltese singer Miriana Conte with Serving, which was renamed from Kant due to its resemblance to a swearword, and Switzerland’s Zoe Me with the powerful Voyage.

Earlier, 2024 Swiss winner Nemo returned to the Eurovision stage to perform The Code in a full-length white dress, following an opening sketch featuring a Mission Impossible-style quest to find the trophy, before it was handed over to the hosts.
