As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that starting from next Tuesday, 13th May, and continuing on Thursday, 15th May (both at 8pm), I’ll be joining forces with Scott Mills to bring you engaging commentary throughout the semi-finals!

In addition, Rylan will join the cast for a notable cameo in the Doctor Who episode titled “The Intergalactic Music Competition,” where he shares hosting duties with the leading personality!

I’m excitedly heading towards Basel! It’s the season I look forward to most, and I can hardly contain my enthusiasm to join my Eurovision partner, Scott Mills, once again in the commentary box,” stated Rylan.

Let’s show our support for our ladies, remember them as Monday’s stars! Although they’ve been advised against going out with me, I’m hoping I can convince Richie [Anderson] and Sara Cox to hang out with me at EuroClub instead.

Scott Mills

In the commentary area, you’ll find Scott Mills. He’ll be joined by Rylan, delivering commentary live as we approach the climax of the competition.

The live coverage will air simultaneously on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, right from the heart of the excitement taking place in Switzerland.

As a dedicated moviegoer, I’m thrilled to share that starting from next week, the Scott Mills Breakfast Show is hitting the road and setting up camp right here in Basel! From Monday to Friday, you can tune in for live broadcasts, serving as your morning warm-up before the grand finale. Don’t miss it!

I’m absolutely thrilled to be bringing my Breakfast Show abroad, as we air live from Basel during the entire Eurovision week. Eurovision embodies diversity, and I always enjoy spreading this joy – doing it for the first time on the UK’s most prominent morning show is a dream come true!

Richie Anderson

Richie Anderson is planning to explore Basel and sample the best that Switzerland has to offer while mingling with Eurovision enthusiasts from around the globe, who’ve journeyed near and far to be part of the excitement.

During the semi-finals, He and Sara Cox will be providing commentary in the booth for both BBC Radio 2 and Sounds. But the excitement doesn’t end there! Richie will host the Eurovision After Party from 11:30pm to 2am on BBC Radio 2.

30pm to 2am on BBC Radio 2.

He’ll continue discussing the evening events, highlighting key topics, while maintaining the lively vibe of the Eurovision party for those still up and not ready to retire for the night.

This year, I’m thrilled to be back as a commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest Semi-Finals on Radio 2, and even more delighted because I’ll be working alongside the esteemed Semi-Final commentating royalty, Sara Cox.

This marks my second year in the commentator’s booth. Before making my debut here in Malmö last year, I took a trip down memory lane by revisiting Sara’s past commentaries from the archives. Now, it feels surreal to be working alongside her!

As a movie buff who’s always eagerly anticipating the next blockbuster, I find myself watching Eurovision for the fourth time this year. Ever since Gina G’s captivating performance graced Auntie Jackie’s living room back in 1996, I’ve been a devoted fan. For me, it’s like stepping into another world filled with excitement and laughter – a cinematic experience of its own kind. And now, I can’t wait to share this unique spectacle with our Radio 2 listeners!

Sara Cox

This year, Sara Cox is back in the commentary booth for the Eurovision Semi-Finals. These events will air live yet again on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.

On Wednesday, May 14th, amidst the excitement of Eurovision, Sara will broadcast her afternoon program live straight from Basel’s city center.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement to be in Basel! I’m eagerly diving back into the vibrant, kaleidoscopic whirlwind that is Eurovision. Truly, it’s a feel-good festival like no other!

The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 final will take place on Saturday 17th May 2025.
