SBS, the Australian national broadcaster, have confirmed a change in their commentary team, ahead of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, in Basel.

Since 2017, Myf Warhurst & Joel Creasey have commentated at the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as hosted all three editions of Australia Decides. They have now decided to step down ahead of the 2025 Contest, in Basel. Myf Warhurst & Joel Creasey had the following to say:

“It’s been a huge honour to host the Eurovision Song Contest for SBS, but the time has come to hang up our glitter microphones. We have absolutely adored watching our Australian artists compete on the world stage and it’s been a privilege to bring that experience to our dedicated Australian Eurovision fans.

We are very grateful to SBS and Blink TV and both acknowledge that one of the best things to come out of all of this is our beautiful friendship. We certainly aim to work together in some capacity again soon.

We wish SBS and the new hosts all the very best with future broadcasts, and we look forward to getting up super early next year to watch it with the rest of Australia from the couch in our pyjamas.”

The new Australian Eurovision Song Contest commentator/s will be revealed over the coming months.
