Who are the hosts of Junior Eurovision 2024?
Fans of the Eurovision Song Contest will recognize Ruth Lorenzo because she represented Spain in the 2014 competition. Lorenzo was born in Murcia. Ruth’s song “Dancing in the Rain” brought Spain in the top ten in Copenhagen ten years ago. Since then, the singer has continued to pursue her musical career and has ventured into television hosting. Ruth has hosted Spain’s Eurovision pre-selection show, Benidorm Fest, among other shows.
Marc Clotet is an award-winning actor who has acted in theater, television and film. In 2021, Marc established his own production company as well. Esto No Es Suecia, his debut series, was co-produced by RTVE. It received honors from the Prix Europa Awards as well as the Cannes Series Festival.
Melanie García competed for Spain in the 2019 Contest, which took place in Gliwice, Poland. With her song “Marte” she made a very successful return for Spain, placing third overall. Since then, the young singer has released more music and done roles in theater and television. In 2022, she received a Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards nomination for Best Spanish Artist. Additionally, Melani won the 2018 La Voz Kids series, one year before she brough Spain the second place in Junior Eurovision.
