Eurovision 2019 is only a few months away, and the UK has now unveiled the artists hoping to represent their country.

In a twist, six acts will perform three songs in the hope of performing at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv this May.

Each of the three songs will be performed in two different musical styles by two different acts, with three rounds of ‘song-offs’ being performed by six acts in total.
