Greece's youngest Eurovision contestant will be sitting GCSE exam in just five days

This year's youngest Eurovision act will be sitting his GCSE exams in just a few days' time.

Greece’s youngest ever act, Victor Vernicos, will be representing his country in this year's song contest at the young age of 16. As he gears up for the performance of a lifetime, he has been spotted taking part in today's dress rehearsals.

But he will be juggling preparing for Eurovision with studying for his English Language exam in five days. Studying at Minerva's Virtual Academy, he previously spoke to them about the "great deal of flexibility" he has been offered to ensure he can perform at the annual song contest.

Speaking about his exams he told MVA Founder and CEO, Hugh Viney he was doing one exam in November and the other four after Eurovision. He added: "So after the Grand Final, I think I have a four-day break and then I have my exam, my first exam." Victor said his first exam will be in English Language and he will study on his flight home.

Witnessing the rehearsals today, ECHO reporter Christopher Megrath said: "Victor looks TINY on stage but he knocks it out of the park. Only he and Gustaph have managed to get the crowd going so far. I feel like this will do better than people expect."
