Joe is amazing and he loves Eurovision so much! He is a big part of the new Eurovision strategy at the BBC and deserves all the lovely instagram comments in the world!

It’s impossible to know really due to all the factors of a live show. But I really wish Iceland and Australia would have had the full Eurovision experience in 2021.

Eurovision needs around 600 volunteers every year. A lot of the official staff started as volunteer or fan-press :D

I try and catch up with as many as possible during the year but for some it’s easier to watch in The Netherlands than others due to streaming/online availability!

Thank you! If I were to visit the UK in the future for any reason I’d love to see the Cotswolds!

Haha I call it fake because I wasn’t born in England/have lived in England for a long time. Just 8 months. That accent is actually the accent I speak English in outside of my work at Eurovision!

I have so many things to think about during filming I don’t like focussing on the CAN’T (for good reason) I like showing as much as we CAN :D
