SUN BINGO wants to tell you about Dress in Blue Day, a day that raises awareness of colon cancer.

Colon cancer often has no symptoms until the advanced stages, so screenings are vital for detecting the cancer at early stages.

Eat Blue

Technically, any food could be blue if you use food colouring. However, that feels like cheating.

So, why not try these naturally blue foods:

• Blueberries – they’re a “superfood” and contain antioxidants and are a good source of vitamin C and fibre.
• Blue cheese – notable blue cheeses include Stilton, Roquefort and Gorgonzola.
• Duck eggs – eggs from Indian runner ducks, magpie ducks and mallards are generally blue. 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BINGO BALL CALLS ARE?

Drink Blue

Drink these blue beauties and then strike a pose with your turquoise tongues:

• Innocent’s Bolt from the Blue juice – another way to feel good on a Friday is with a healthy smoothie!
• Powerade Berry and Tropical – a reward after a good fitness session, attempting a good fitness session or thinking about doing a good fitness session.
• Blue lagoon mocktail – a great alcohol-free variation to the classic cyan cocktail contains Blue Curacao syrup (which is non-alcoholic), lemonade and lime juice.

THE UK’s entry for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest has officially been revealed.

Remember Monday will take to the Eurovision stage this year, and they’re the first girl band to represent the UK since 1999.

Meet the members

In February 2025, The Sun exclusively revealed that girl group Remember Monday will be representing the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The country-pop trio which is made up of members Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele may be new to Eurovision, but this isn’t the first time they’ve performed on a big stage.

In 2019, the girl band took part in The Voice and performed in front of coaches Olly Murs, Will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson, and Sir Tom Jones.

During their time on the show, the group picked Jennifer as their coach and made it through to the knock-out stages before leaving.

They have also performed at several major UK events including Country to Country, The Long Road, and Buckle and Boots, and have previously supported Billy Joel and Natasha Bedingfield before embarking on their own UK tour.

Joining Scott Mills in the Radio 2, band member Lauren Bryne explained: “We met at sixth form college a few years ago and, essentially, we always had free periods on a Monday which is when we just used to get together and sing.

Lauren continued: ”That turned into us singing every single day of the week and not going to our classes and our teacher used to come and find us in random spare classrooms and knock on the door and be like, ‘Girls are you coming into class today?’ and we were like, ‘No Jenny, we’re just going to stay in here, sorry!’

“So we did that for years and years and it kind of became a little in joke that it was always happening on a Monday so that’s where Remember Monday was born and, yeah, about a year and a bit ago, we packed in the day job and went full time and it’s going OK! [laughs]. Here we are.”

Eurovision 2025

The Eurovision Song Contest for 2025 is set to take place in Basel, Switzerland between May 13 and May 17.

Speaking ahead of the highly-anticipated event, a source said: “As ever behind the scenes competition has been fierce to represent the UK.

“This year bosses have opted to shake things up and send a female trio, Remember Monday.

“The song is a stark change from Olly Alexander last year but the girls are sure to get the nation behind them.”

The singer came in 18th place in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest with his song “Dizzy”.

It has also been revealed that the trio will be performing their song What The Hell Just Happened? at the song contest.

The song, which chronicles the aftermath of a night out with friends, has been described as an ”upbeat pop track full of energy, excitement and drama”.

While talking about their upcoming Eurovision entry, Remember Monday explained: ”What The Hell Just Happened is exactly how we’re feeling right now!

”It’s all very surreal; our friendship goes so far back, and we definitely never imagined that we’d be doing anything like this.

Instagram

”When you’re a kid and people ask you what you want to be when you grow up, an absolute classic is “I wanna be a pop star”, so the fact that we’re getting the chance to live that dream as three best friends is just wild.

”We’re going to be the first girl band to represent the UK since 1999, which feels like such a crazy honour.

”We’re going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won’t have seen before on the Eurovision stage.

”We honestly can’t wait to experience this with all of the other incredible artists from around the world, and hopefully make everyone back at home feel proud!

”This is really the music World Cup and we’ll do our best to bring it home!”

More Eurovision entries

The UK’s Eurovision entry for 2025 is not the only one confirmed.

Ukraine, Poland, Slovenia, Norway, Croatia, Belgium, Albania, Estonia, Iceland, and Azerbaijan are all ready to compete for the winning title.

Malta will also be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest, however, the title of singer Miriana Conte’s tune has sparked a huge row – because it sounds like a rude word.

She has been ordered to change it following ”a report submitted by an EBU member — understood to be the BBC”, sources say.

Following the news, Miriana took to Instagram and wrote: ”While I’m shocked and disappointed, especially since we have less than a week to submit the song, I promise you this: the show will go on — Diva NOT down.”
