In a surprising early announcement, SBS has revealed that long-time Eurovision commentators, Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey, will not be returning to host the Australian broadcast of Eurovision in 2025. The beloved duo, who have been the voices of Australia’s Eurovision experience since 2017, have decided it’s time to step away from the role after so many years.

Reflecting on their departure, Myf and Joel shared:

It’s been a huge honour to host the Eurovision Song Contest for SBS, but the time has come to hang up our glitter microphones. We have absolutely adored watching our Australian artists compete on the world stage and it’s been a privilege to bring that experience to our dedicated Australian Eurovision fans. We are very grateful to SBS and Blink TV, and one of the best things to come out of this journey is our beautiful friendship. We certainly aim to work together again soon.

They also expressed their gratitude to SBS for the opportunity and have left open the possibility of future collaborations.

As the Eurovision 2025 season approaches, SBS has thanked Myf and Joel for their exceptional contribution to the network’s Eurovision coverage. The broadcaster has confirmed that new hosts will be announced in due course, promising an exciting new chapter for Australia’s Eurovision commentary.

Today, Friday April the 19th, SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster, has announced who will be involved in the Swedish commentary of the three shows of the contest, on a press release.

When the Eurovision Song Contest is held for the 68th time, viewers in Sweden will be guided by Tina Mehrafzoon and Edward af Sillén.

This is the thirteenth year that the experienced and knowledgeable Edward af Sillén takes place in Eurovision’s commentary booth. For the music journalist and media profile Tina Mehrafzoon, who during the spring had a commentating expert role during the Melodifestivalen, it is the premiere.

Tina Mehrafzoon expresses:

“To be able to do this together with Edward is an honour and a dream come true. The fact that Sweden is the host country makes it all the more special. I know which professionals make the show so my job will be very pleasurable and easy!”

This host year, Edward af Sillén is also involved as a director and screenwriter. The whole spring is filled with intense work, but Edward is very much looking forward to the assignment as a commentator.

“It feels both honorable and very fun. The viewers will be in safe and warm hands with Tina in the driver’s seat, while I will split my time between being backstage and working with the presenters and being by Tina’s side as much as possible during the shows. It’s going to be really exciting,”

says Edward af Sillén.
