Did the BBC really drop their Eurovision 2026 artist?

With reports that the BBC were forced to drop the United Kingdom's planned 2026 artist due to 'unacceptable comments' that had previously been made on social media, we aim to uncover what's really happening and where it leaves the BBC's selection process for Vienna.We're also heading to Oslo to catch up with our Norwegian friends Mads Tørklep and Tarjei Strøm as they get us up to speed ahead of this year's Melodi Grand Prix. We find out more about Alexander Rybak's return, learn the truth about Ylvis' decision to quit the contest, and hear about a very special interval act planned for the live show.This year we're delighted to be teaming up with the Europarty app to help you bring even more enjoyment to this year's Eurovision season.You can click here to purchase your tickets for the London Eurovision Festival.Click this link to sign up to The Euro Trip + on Patreon for just £4.99 a month.To support the podcast, head to Buy Me A CoffeeFollow us on Twitter, Instagram & TikTok or email [email protected], and find us online at eurotrippodcast.com Hosted on Acast.
