🇬🇧 Freya Skye to represent the United Kingdom in the 2022 Junior Eurovision Song Contest

After announcing their surpise return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest a few months ago, we now have our penultimate representative for the contest, as the BBC confirms that Freya Skye will represent the United Kingdom at this year’s contest in Yerevan.

A surprise reveal with Lucie Jones

The announcement of the UK’s 2022 Junior Eurovision representative was surprisingly announced in the middle of the night, where we saw Freya meet up with UK’s Eurovision 2017 representative Lucie Jones at the Appollo Theatre in London.

What was suppose to be a Dance Workshop for Freya turned out to be a decoy as Lucie inform Freya that they will be representing the United Kingdom in Yerevan. You can see Freya’s initial reaction where they met up with Lucie:

At the time of writing, it is yet to be confirmed what entry Freya will sing in Yerevan. A track called “Lose My Head” was made available on streaming platforms today. However, the BBC is yet to officially confirm if this is in fact the UK’s entry.

The United Kingdom’s Junior Eurovision Journey

The United Kingdom was one of the first countries to take part in the first edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2003. Represented by Tom Morley and his song “My Song for the World”, the UK finished in 3rd place in Copenhagen. At the close of voting, Morley earned 118 points, only behind Spain and Croatia. The UK would compete a further two times, with their most successful attempt coming in 2004. In Lillehammer, Cory Spedding finished in second place with her song “The Best is Yet to Come”.
