It's been the question on everyone's lips since the competition kicked off, with rumours making it seem likely.

While the singer returned via a video at the first semi-final, reflecting on her win in 1988, it is unclear if Celine Dion will be performing at the Grand Final.

The video appeared to dismiss any thoughts of her returning, but Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR didn't completely deny the rumours.

An SRG SSR spokesperson said (via The Independent): "All elements of the first semi-final show were played through and rehearsed intensively.

"There are currently no changes regarding Celine Dion – we are still in close contact with her."

The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final airs on BBC One and iPlayer at 8pm on Saturday 17th May 2025.
