Britain's Eurovision entry Remember Monday may have flopped out of this weekend's 69th song contest with zero points from the voting public, but it's not all doom and gloom for the three-piece girl band.
The group, which is made up of Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele, all 30, are said to have signed a £1M deal with musical theatre impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber.
"Andrew is genuinely excited by Remember Monday – he really does think they have something special, both in their vocal capabilities and with their stage presence," a source told the Daily Mail as they assured the music icon was 'impressed' by the band.
Adding that Lloyd Webber doesn't see their lack of votes as a failure, they said, "He is utterly convinced they can go from strength to strength as a result of Eurovision."
The partnership isn't so out of the blue, with Remember Monday having quite the musical theatre pedigree, with Holly-Anne even previously starring in the West End's Phantom Of The Opera.
Hailing from Hampshire, the group rose to fame on the 2019 series of The Voice UK, where they were steered by mentor Jennifer Hudson. Despite impressing fans on the talent show, the group's Eurovision appearance six years later didn't seem to hit the same spot for the public.
Singing their track What The Hell Just Happened? during Saturday night's song contest in Basel, Switzerland, the group may not have received any votes from the public, but did get 88 from the professional jury.
This left the group in 19th place out of 26 countries, with Austria's JJ reigning victorious for his performance of the song Wasted Love, which scored him 436 points in total.
And proving the lower place didn't get them down, the group later said in an official statement, "WOW – what a ride! Three best mates walked onto the world’s biggest music stage and came out with a Top 10 Jury score, massive streaming numbers, and memories that will last a lifetime.
"Performing at Eurovision was one of the most surreal and emotional moments of our lives. The love we’ve felt from fans, our incredible team, and everyone who streamed, voted, and believed in us has been overwhelming."
Adding that there's plenty in the pipeline, they continued, "This is just the beginning for Remember Monday. We’ve got new music coming your way, a UK & Ireland headline tour this year, a summer packed with festivals, and we’ll be hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium for the Summertime Ball… no big deal!
We’re so grateful for the platform, the media support, and every single new fan who’s joined us on this wild journey. Eurovision? Completed it. Let’s go!"
