Hayla, 12, will represent the UK in this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest in France
The dust may have settled on the 2023 contest but the city already has its foot in the door for another. Following in the footsteps of pop star Sonia, who represented the country and Liverpool back in 1983, the UK is sending Hayla Essen Danns who makes up one-third of the UK's JESC girl group entry STAND UNIQU3 .
Hayla already has family ties to the contest as her grandfather Neil Danns performed with the 1987 UK entry sung by Rikki Peebles - called Only The Light. He said: “My advice to you is to remember the whole experience that’s the most important thing I took away from it, was enjoying it,” he told her. "It’s all about getting out there and doing something different. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
