Eurovision 2025 Major Change Announced Ahead of Grand Final - Liverpool Echo

  • Ncuti Gatwa will not act as spokesperson announcing the UK's jury votes at Eurovision 2025's Grand Final in Basel this weekend.
  • The BBC stated unforeseen circumstances forced Gatwa's withdrawal, leading to Sophie Ellis-Bextor replacing him as the UK spokesperson.
  • Ellis-Bextor, known as BBC Radio 2's Kitchen Disco Diva, expressed honour in presenting the UK's jury score live from the UK during the event.
  • The contest involves 37 countries competing in Switzerland, with 26 finalists including the Big Five—UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy—and Switzerland as host.
  • This change maintains the UK's guaranteed final spot and keeps the jury voting process intact ahead of the Saturday 17 May final at Basel's St. Jakobshalle.
