UK’s Eurovision hopefuls Remember Monday reveal the words of advice they were given by flop Olly Alexander 

British Eurovision hopefuls Remember Monday have revealed they have hired a therapist after taking advice from last year’s entrant Olly Alexander.

The girl group, made up of Lauren Byrne, Charlotte Steele and Holly-Anne Hull, will represent the UK in this year’s show with their song What The Hell Just Happened?

They will be hoping to do better than Olly who sadly received zero points from the public during the 2023 final with his song Dizzy.

Previously asked what his advice to the next Eurovision entrant would be, Olly said: ‘Get a good therapist’.

Speaking to The Sun, Lauren revealed they’ve listened to him: ‘Yeah. I think everyone should have a therapist. And we do. We’re very lucky that we do.’

The trio, who are the first girl group to represent the UK since Prescious in 1999, added that they feel ‘well looked after’.

Remember Monday also insisted they will not let online criticism or the scores on the night get to them.

Lauren said: ‘You just have to accept as an artist that what you do isn’t going to be loved by everyone.

‘There are people out there that don’t like Taylor Swift. I think they’re a bit crazy, but they do exist. So, you know, we can’t be for everyone and that’s fine.’

The trio, from Hampshire, have been friends since they met in sixth form with Hollie saying their close bond is their ‘superpower’. 

They first gained prominence after appearing on The Voice UK in 2019 and have also had careers in theatre.   

The UK has a poor track record at the compeтιтion – which will be held in Basel, Switzerland – in recent years. 

And if Remember Monday suffer the same fate as Olly, they have decided that everyone on their team will have to get the abbreviation of their song, WTHJH?, tattooed somewhere on their body.

In a more positive sense, the group have also decided to enact the vow if they place in the top five.

‘If we get top five or above, every single person on our team has to get WTHJH tattooed on their body,’ they said on Instagram.

‘We won’t take no for an answer. Can I get a hell yeah? It’s happening, it’s happening. It’s got to happen. Or if we come ᴅᴇᴀᴅ last, nil points. That is also worth a tattoo.’

The band confirmed their bid for Eurovision when they appeared as guests on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds. 

After weeks of waiting, Scott broke the news, saying: ‘It ain’t a Eurovision entry until I say it is. I am so ready to get behind the act that is representing us and I know you’re going to adore them. They are genuinely brilliant and really lovely.’ 

The song, which is out now, is an upbeat pop track full of energy, excitement and drama and was co-written by Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie ‘Kill J’ Aagaard.

The girls look set to be onto a winning formula as BRIT Award nominees, Billen Ted, have worked with Little Mix, Anne Marie, MNEK and Armin van Buuren to name a few.
