Dana International became a Eurovision legend when she secured victory in Birmingham 25 years ago. The Israeli singer’s winning song Diva is considered one of the all-time greats and she remains incredibly fond of the contest which changed her life.
“Winning was very special,” she said. “It was the best time of my life and I got a respect I never thought I would get.
“Eurovision taught me to love myself more. It changed my life in many ways. I don’t think about it every day, it’s in the past but it’s still a big part of my life.”
