Eurovision special with Jemini, Samantha Janus and Bardo!

Ahead of this year's competition, OJ celebrates Eurovision One Hit Wonders, from the UK. Plus, OJ chats to Sally Ann Triplett from Bardo, who sang in two different competitions!

Ahead of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest held in Vienna, Austria, OJ has a One Hit Wonders Eurovision special!

All the songs played in this episode are from previous UK entries. Some of them did better in the charts than they did in the contest, there are plenty of mid-table finishes and a nil points as well. Plus, the Eastender who represented the UK in 1991, years before she first stepped foot on Albert Square. Stories of stage invasions, grammatical errors and backing tracks that just couldn’t be heard properly.

Plus, OJ replays some of his chat with Sally Ann Triplett from Bardo, who participated in two different Eurovision competitions!
