IT’S one of the wackiest sights on telly but this year the Eurovision Song Contest will be even more bonkers – and naughty.
It promises dafter acts than ever but also more references to rumpy than you can shake a pair of Latex hotpants at.
Outlandish entries include Icelandic brothers Væb who are dead ringers for comedy twins — and Irish entry Emmy, oddly from , singing about an, er, DEAD DOG in outer space on their track Laika Party.
But Eurovision producers are also on red alert for X-rated shenanigans.
Risque acts whose song Serving was censored over its original title Kant — which means “vocals”;; in Maltese but sounds awkwardly like a certain British four-letter word.
Producers now fear the audience at the St. Jakobshalle arena in , will make mischief by chanting the forbidden word.
One fan said on X: “The whole arena will be screaming, “Kant!”;; in her honour.”;;
Another said: “They can ban the word ‘Kant’ but people will scream in the arena like it’s the last word they’re saying in the world. You wish you could stop us!”;;
Oh, and Miriana is due to sing just BEFORE the 9pm watershed during Thursday’s semi-final, which will air live on .
That will follow tonight’s first semi-final at 8pm on BBC One, ahead of on Saturday.
Miriana has even been giving out to fans skimpy thongs featuring her song title on them, to promote a performance that will see her bouncing suggestively up and down on a giant inflatable ball while images of legs opening and closing flash up behind her.
Meanwhile Erika Vikman, 32, will also complicate your evening if tuning in with Mum and Dad — as she pole-dances in racy Latex while belting out her track Ich Komme — which translates as: “I’m coming.”;;
Erika will peform in but, in translated lyrics, sings: “You’re full of stamina, hit meõ once again, grab my ass. And when you want more love, just shout ‘encore’, and baby, I’m coming.”;;
entry, Go-Jo, will also give show hosts and plenty to snigger about as he delivers his song Milkshake Man packed with cheeky innuendo.
He sings: “Come and take a sip from my special cup, I heard that you could use a little pick-me-up.”;;
In the chorus, he then adds: “I can tell you want a taste of the milkshake man.”;;
He also rips his top off — not to be outdone by Armenia’s Parg who performs his party piece Survivor while topless.
Bookies’ favourite , represented by comedy trio Kaj and their track Bara Bada Bastu, will give fans an eyeful, too — as men dressed only in towels dance in what appears to be a sauna.
A Eurovision source said: “There are lots of risque acts this year and anything could happen. There are plenty of rehearsals but a lot of the acts have precarious outfits and you can never quite predict what will happen on the night.”;;
Ten acts will go through from each semi-final, to compete in the final alongside host country Switzerland and Big Five — , Germany, , and .
Country-pop girl group will fly the flag for the UK with their entry What The Hell Just Happened?
Band member Charlotte Steele said: “The Eurovision community and all of the people that we’ve met, we feel like all of that we’re taking with us.
“We genuinely feel so grateful and so honoured to be welcomed with such open arms into this community and we want to meet every single person out in Basel.
“We’re just so so happy to be a part of this and we will look back on this as the most incredible experience of our entire lives.”;;
