Countries who gave UK nul points in Eurovision as singers suffer brutal blow
Austria was crowned the winner of Eurovision 2025 as the UK ended up with nul points from the public for the second year in a row The Eurovision 2025 Grand Final in Basel, Switzerland, concluded tonight with Austria taking the crown in a thrilling finale to the 69th edition of the international song contest. Representing the UK this year was pop group Remember Monday, who performed their song, What The Hell Just Happened?, on Swiss soil. The trio, consisting of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, captivated the audience with their tune inspired by their friendship and upbringing in Hampshire. They were the eighth act to take the stage during Saturday's grand event. The group amassed a total of 88 points, securing them the 19th spot. However, they faced disappointment as they received zero points in the public vote for the second consecutive year. The UK is part of the Big 5, which also includes France, Germany, Italy and Spain, reports the Liverpool Echo. This year's song contest saw 37 countries participate, with 26 making it to the grand final. Alongside the Big 5, this included last year's victor, Switzerland, and the 20 qualifying semi-finalists. The UK has graced every Eurovision Grand Final since 1959 and has been crowned champion five times. The winner is decided by a mix of points from national juries and viewer votes in the participating 26 countries, supplemented by a separate rest of the world poll. Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor is poised to deliver the UK's national jury votes for Eurovision as Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa withdraws from his role as British spokesperson due to "unforeseen circumstances". BBC One slated Graham Norton once more to provide TV coverage for the final at 8pm on Saturday, while Rylan Clark and Scott Mills hosted the affair over on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds. The UK has historically struggled in the points department during the public vote, often being left with nul points from country juries. A comprehensive dissection of Remember Monday's Eurovision figures was part of The ECHO's coverage, highlighting which nations handed the UK those dreaded nul points. Take a look at the tally detailing exactly how Remember Monday fared:. Remember Monday received zero love from Sweden, Azerbaijan, Malta, Netherlands, Slovenia, Armenia, France, Croatia, Latvia, Montenegro, Greece, Serbia, Germany, Belgium, Israel, Albania, Lithuania, and Georgia — all awarding nul points to the UK entry. A smidgeon of recognition came through with Luxembourg giving six points, San Marino attributing two points, Ukraine offering 10 generous points, and Norway along with Austria each dishing out seven points. Italy proved to be a fond ally scoring douze points to Remember Monday, while Portugal and Ireland allocated two points each, Denmark opted for four, Poland chipped in with one point, Czechia matched Ukraine with 10 points, Spain tossed in six, Finland threw five points into the mix, and Iceland matched that with another five. Cyprus - no points. Estonia - five points. Switzerland - four points. The public vote - no points.
