After a recent change in the Head of Delegation, it’s now time for Iceland, to select the new commentator, that will comment the show on behalf of the Icelandic public broadcaster, RÚV.

In detail, Gunna Dís Emilsdóttir, will be the Icelandic commentator this year, after Gísli Marteinn stepped down from his role. Gunna Dís has many years of experience behind her, having worked both as a TV and Radio producer.

After RÚV’s announcement, she said:

“I have followed Eurovision from a young age and am fascinated by the cultural diversity that the competition shows. I realize that I am taking on this job under challenging circumstances. There have been different opinions about this year’s competition, and all of these opinions are fully justified. I’m on my way to Malmö on behalf of RÚV and I’m going to do my best to describe what’s going to happen on the big stage in May.”

Gísli Marteinn Baldursson, Iceland’s commentator since 2003, stepped down, due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, and the Contest’s reaction to it, or to the no reaction at all, according to RÚV.
