Rebecca Ferguson considering Eurovision offers from other countries after UK snub
Share:
X Factor icon Rebecca Ferguson has confirmed she is in talks to compete at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 - but UK fans might be shocked to learn who she has been asked to sing for. The 38-year-old singer found fame as a season seven contestant on The X Factor in 2010 - but it seems she has an even bigger singing competition on her mind. Rebecca has enjoyed chart success since she burst into the spotlight a decade and a half ago, with four top 10 albums and with hit singles including Nothing's Real but Love and I Hope.
Now the Liverpudlian star has hinted she could take to the stage in Basel, Switzerland, in May this year as a contestant in the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. However, she has revealed it is likely she will compete on behalf of another country, instead of the UK.
She made the surprise confession when she was asked: Are you representing the UK at Eurovision?" by a fan during a Q&A session on TikTok. She replied: "Well, I’ve got something to tell you… Do you know what? No one’s messaged me… and I… no one’s messaged me to do it, erm, but what’s really interesting is I’ve had other offers from other countries to do Eurovision. And what they’ve said is, ‘You can’t do it on your own, but you can do it as a duet.’".
Admitting she is torn over when to do, Rebecca continued: "So, it’s a weird one for me because I’ve been offered Eurovision by other countries to sing with their artist. But then I’m patriotic to me own country. But then at the same time, I’m like, ‘Well, me own country hasn’t asked me.’".
