News: Isolation Song Contest Raises Over £38,000 (And Italy Wins)

Video: Sneak Preview Of New Mel Giedroyc Show Unforgivable

An alternative Eurovision Song Contest, the Isolation Song Contest, has raised £38,452 to help support The Trussell Trust, Crisis and Refuge.

Comedian Tom Taylor asked fourteen friends from the world of entertainment - including comedy, music and drag - to help recreate the magic of the Eurovision Song Contest from the safety of their own homes.

After being randomly assigned a country, each act had just one week to compose an original Eurovision-style entry and music video for that nation. You can see the full line-up here.

Everyone involved in the project gave their time and skills for free to help raise as much money as possible for The Trussell Trust, Crisis and Refuge. Three charities which do amazing work supporting vulnerable people and who need our help now more than ever.

And the winner in a public vote, was Mel Giedroyc, who represented Italy.

Watch the show online – where you can still donate too – here.
