After months of excitement - and high-stakes build-up for the 26 competing countries - the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 is over and this year's winner has been decided as Autria's JJ. It was a spectacular night in Basel, Switzerland as the 69th edition of the epic music event took place St. Jakobshalle, after Nemo's victory in Malmö, Sweden last year. It's been 36 years since Switzerland last hosted the contest, after the legend that is Celine Dion won in 1988, so the wait to roll out Eurovision's famous turquoise carpet has been a long one. This year, it was hosted by an award-winning stand-up comedian and presenter, one of Switzerland’s best-known international personalities and a former Eurovision participant - Hazel Brugger, Michelle Hunziker and Sandra Studer. At the end of the jury and public vote results, Asutria won with 436 points while Israel finished in second with 357 points and Estonia completed the contest the top three with 358 points. The winner was determined by a combination of points from national juries and viewer votes in the participating 26 countries, along with a separate rest of the world poll. The rest of the world also had a poll, which will count the same as a country, and the verdict of TV viewers were then added to the combination of points from national juries. And after Olly Alexander's efforts in 2024 saw him finish 18th place with a total 46 points, it was a tough night for the UK's Remember Monday finished with a total 88 points from the jury alone after getting zero in the public vote. The UK’s national jury votes were announced by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor after Doctor Who actor Ncuti Gatwa pulled out of being the British Eurovision spokesperson due to "unforeseen circumstances". The grand final also saw previous Eurovision runners-up Croatia’s Baby Lasagna and Finland’s Kaarija perform, as well as singer Nemo with their new song Unexplainable.
