UK Eurovision singer Mae Muller says song contest training 'like bootcamp'

Mae Muller has said her training for Eurovision has been “like bootcamp” as she reflected on the challenges of being an up-and-coming artist in the music industry. The 25-year-old singer will represent the UK at the song contest in Liverpool in the grand final on May 13 with her track I Wrote A Song, which features tongue-in-cheek lyrics about a cheating ex-boyfriend and a propulsive dance beat.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Muller admitted she is keen to do well in the competition but that it has been “non-stop for two months”, describing it as “like boot camp”. The London-born singer was confirmed as the UK’s Eurovision act in early March and has since been at a number of Eurovision events ahead of the big day including meeting the King and Queen.

Muller joined the royal couple when they unveiled the contest’s spectacular stage in Liverpool, with Charles telling her: “We will be watching you with great interest – egging you on.”
