OMG I’ve managed to get grand final tickets and Euroclub Friday & Saturday tickets all in the space of a few hours today. So excited for Vienna now! ✈️ 🪩 💃🏻

Yes that was me dressed as a pizza on national TV

Why is Eurovision expanding into Asia? I’m glad you asked! Step right this way & thanks for coming to my TED Talk! #Eurovision #EurovisionAsia @escinsight.com escinsight.com/2026/03/31/f...

Are you a journalist covering the launch of Eurovision Asia? I’ve just authored a piece on it for @escinsight which goes live this morning. Available to yap today if you need quote/opinions! #JournoRequest #PRRequest #Eurovision #EurovisionAsia

Who’s going to #LEP next month? What are you wearing? I’m thinking of going as Linda Lampenius! Thoughts…?! #Eurovision

For Eurovision 2026, juries will be expanded from five to seven members. The EBU have made it a requirement that two juror members for 2026 need to be young music professionals from 18 to 25. Ben Robertson investigates what difference, if any, this change might make on the Eurovision scoreboard/

I want to go to UMK all over again!

Someone left some kind of ginger merkin thing at the pub on St Paddy’s night and this is the sort of event that the local Facebook groups were invented for. Inspector Poirot and Wagatha Christie have nothing on these people.

I’ll never get skinny like Lily Allen because I discovered that if you go to Sainsburys at 6pm, a pack of 5 sugar ring doughnuts is only 65p. What can I say? 🤷‍♀️

Lordi are back! They’ll be performing at the Eurovision Grand Final with Erika Vikman. It really does feel like the stars are aligning for Finland this year… #Eurovision

Two incredibly spoilt little creatures in their natural habitat… #cats #catsofbluesky

@stevehreports.bsky.social Hiya! Do you know if there’s going to be a live recording of the Eurovision podcast at London Eurovision Party again?

My husband has invited 13 ppl for lunch this Sunday. He has enough meat to feed about 20 ppl but has given no thought to the fact that we only have 6 plates, most of which are chipped. He does not see why we should buy new plates. So it looks like we’ll be feasting with our hands like Henry VIII.

I’ve officially caught the national finals bug since recoding this at #UMK! Which national final shall we do next year?!

LISTEN TO MOTHER! The latest episode of the @escinsight.com podcast is out. Hear what happened when we hung out with Erika Vikman, JJ & Linda & Pete at #UMK: escinsight.com/2026/03/09/e... #Eurovision

British Eurofans arriving in Vienna this year… 🇬🇧 🍕 #Eurovision #UK

Crikey it’s been leaked already…! 😬

Something rather curious is happening in #Eurovision land. UK is actually 8th in the betting odds to win. This never happens. The last time was Sam Ryder in 2022, and then the odds drastically shortened after dress rehearsals. What do they know that we don’t know…?!

Just got back from a wicked trip to Finland and catching up on all the tea. Tell me, Eurovision fam, did something happen this weekend?! 😉

This is what I’ve been saying too!

We’re documenting our trip to #UMK over on instagram! Find out what we’re up to here: www.instagram.com/itsginajones...

Are we going to see Lordi at UMK this weekend? Am absolutely buzzing after listening to @eurotrippodcast.com just now. I really hope they’re there! I’ll be in the UMK audience absolutely screaming my head off!

This year marks 30 years since Gina G represented the UK at Eurovision. Nobody has heard from her in ages. We all miss her. I think it’s time! I would love to see her at LEP. #FindGinaG

There’s a whole song on #Melfest tonight about how nobody can pronounce my name…

Parents are so desperate to get kids off screens & out the house we will literally do anything. Today I paid £20 (plus £10 drinks) to take my kids to this Wicked experience. Turns out it was 2 ladies in fancy dress in the back of a pub with some disco lights! Half term definitely saw me coming! 😂

Apropos of nothing I’ve been thinking about this… #Eurovision #UK www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAbk...

So we’ve just had it from Scott Mills live on air. The UK #Eurovision act this year is… Look Mum, No Computer! I have no idea who they are but we’ll find out what they’re bringing over the coming weeks…

Hurray for the sweaty disco box! Please give them a Charli XCX bassline and make the dancers more naked for the final. Thanks!

Just catching up with #Benidormfest on TV. It’s a lot of fun. We are so going to miss Spain at #Eurovision this year.

Just did a little slot on BBC Radio Bristol talking about Eurovision and National Finals Season, looking ahead to my visit to UMK this month! #Eurovision

I’ve started a little TikTok account so I can chat about #Eurovision and share my travels to #UMK this year. Find me here: www.tiktok.com/@itsginajone...

OMG I wanna join the Mello Baddie gang! 🔥 #Melfest

I’ve been saying for ages that I’ve got a feeling it might be Finland’s year. So far no editors I’ve pitched for articles on this agree with me yet, but let’s see what happens at UMK…! #Eurovision #FreelanceJournalist

Just been to Sainsbos and got all my Melfest snacks for tonight. Who’s everyone excited for on tonight’s show? #Melfest

We’re at it again!! Follow Charlie & me to #UMK as we get a closer look at who might be representing Finland at #Eurovision this year…! Heading off in a few weeks time! 🇫🇮 @escapetothecymru.bsky.social

Got my London Eurovision Party tickets. Cant wait! #LEP #LondonEurovisionParty

I will never get bored of taking pictures of this lazy boy! #cat #catsofbluesky #lazycat

🎵It’s the most wonderful tiiiiiiime of the yeeeeear! 🎶

People are still sharing photos and think pieces about 2016 like it was a zillion years ago. Mate, it was the other day. Not that much has changed. Except I am no longer the size of Jupiter.

Is it me or is Ay Jo a bop?! Even the part where they lost the note and couldn’t find it with a map was entertaining. Send Luxembourg Jane Macdonald and her platonic friend with the frosted tips, I dare you! #LSC #Eurovision

Could this be the year of the violin at Eurovision? If Luxembourg send Eva, and Finland send Pete & Linda and then Rybak is back?! 🎻 #LSC #Eurovision

This country is insane!!!

Ok! I like her, the song is good overall, but it’s not crazy enough for Finland. I want something quirkier for them. Something that grabs you by the hair and screams in your face! Takatukka is still going round in my brain! #UMK #Eurovision

#Eurovision fam: what is your favourite Eurovision live performance of all time ever? For me it has to be Kaarija, Finland 2023. I’d never seen anything like it before. I was screaming my head off in the arena. What’s yours?

Ok why do I lowkey love this? It’s such an ear worm! 🐛 #UMK #Eurovision

I like Mumford & His Finnish Sons. I think this will be fun live. I might bring a hankie to UMK to wave around during this one. #UMK #Eurovision

Just spotted Mileo in the MGP lineup for this year. We saw him supporting Luke Black last year and he was great. Things just got interesting! #MGP #Norway #Eurovision

Return of (Ry)Bak! Just wanted to say that because nobody has used it as a headline yet and I feel that’s a crying shame. #Eurovision #MGP #Norway

Only just watching #MESC today. Matt Black was robbed! I want to see more hankie waving at #Eurovision and he delivered that! #Malta

What’s the deal with #UMK reveals? Do they usually save the best for last? Erika was last in 2025 which makes me think Kiki might be the likely winner this year? #Eurovision
