After 2 years away from Eurovision it’s nice to be back in a totally different guise these last few months on the creative team for Australia, Albania, Malta and Austria performances. Thanks to Dan Shipton and Black Skull Creative for asking me to be part of the team 🌙 😎🌹 🦁

Sad to hear about Kim Woodburn. I only worked with her once in 2018 and she was everything you would want her to be. After finishing filming she noticed the venue was next to a school and said ‘Im a big hit with the primary kids, dear. Has anyone got a pen?’ - she was right.
