BBC is reportedly considering Rebecca Ferguson for Eurovision 2027, with the X Factor star potentially representing the UK in Bulgaria.
The British national broadcaster BBC is reportedly considering Rebecca Ferguson as the UK’s representative at Eurovision 2027. According to reports, the 40-year-old singer is currently in discussions with the committee responsible for selecting the UK’s Eurovision entry, with the aim of carrying the British flag at the contest, which will be held in Bulgaria this time.
From X Factor to a Successful Music Career
Ferguson first rose to fame in 2010 when she competed on the talent show “The X Factor”, where she stood out for her distinctive voice. Since then, she has enjoyed a successful music career, released several albums, and performed across the country.
Beyond her success in the UK, the singer’s name has already been linked to Eurovision in the past. In 2023, Rebecca appeared as a guest artist during the first semi-final of Eurovision, which was held that year in Liverpool, United Kingdom, where she delivered a particularly emotional performance.
Could Rebecca Ferguson Change the UK’s Eurovision Direction?
A potential selection of Ferguson would represent a significant change of direction for the UK, after Look Mum No Computer represented the country at the most recent Eurovision with the song “Eins Zwei Drei”, finishing in last place in the Grand Final with just one point.

Sending an established singer with impressive vocal abilities could give the UK an opportunity to return to a more powerful and vocal-driven style at Eurovision.
According to a report by the British newspaper “Liverpool Echo”, no official confirmation has yet been issued by the UK national broadcaster or by Ferguson herself regarding her potential participation.
In recent years, the UK has selected its Eurovision representatives through an internal selection process conducted by the BBC. The final decision regarding the British entry is therefore expected to be announced by the national broadcaster in the near future, clarifying whether Ferguson will indeed return to the world’s biggest song contest stage.
United Kingdom at Eurovision 2026
“Eins, Zwei, Drei” is the song that was performed by the singer Look Mum No Computer, which represented the United Kingdom in the Grand Final of Eurovision 2026 in Vienna, Austria. The United Kingdom finished 25th in the grand final, scoring 1 point.
Eurovision 2026: This was the United Kingdom’s 68th participation in Eurovision. The United Kingdom joined the competition in 1957 and has won it five times over the years. The United Kingdom’s last victory was in Eurovision 1997 with the song ‘Love Shine A Light’ performed by the band Katrina and the Waves.
