Back from Basel
Scott returned to the Eurovision story after the grand final, discussing the result, the winning performance and the moments that had dominated conversation afterwards.
He also reflected on the rumours that Céline Dion might appear, saying the repeated reports of a jet and backstage activity had made the eventual no-show particularly difficult to accept.
Remember Monday
Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull and Charlotte Steele returned to discuss their Eurovision experience.
They described the final hours before performing, the scale of the arena and the moment the opening cue arrived.
The group reflected on the result without allowing it to overshadow the achievement of representing the UK and singing live on one of television’s largest stages.
They discussed messages from fans, family and former teachers, as well as the practical comedown after weeks of rehearsals and media attention.
Scott asked what they had learned about the contest that could not have been understood before taking part.
The interview ended with the sense that Eurovision had expanded the audience for the group and created a new stage in their career beyond the result itself.
