“We have a fantastic song and will work as hard as is humanly possible to bring the contest home and make our great nation proud. It's time to get this party started! See you in Vienna!"

"I am so proud to have been chosen to be a part of the world’s biggest song contest - Eurovision!” adds Bianca. “It's such an honour to represent the UK, especially in its 60th year too! I have never been to Austria before, and I can't wait to get out to Vienna and do my best, and I hope to make the UK proud!"

This isn’t Bianca’s first time in the limelight, as she’s experienced success by performing at a number of high profile events in recent years.
