[cft format=0]

SVT, Swedish national broadcaster, has announced that their commentators for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest will be the duo of Gina Dirawi and Edward af Sillén.

Fans may remember Gina Dirawi as one of this year’s hosts from the Swedish National Selection, Melodifestivalen, who was joined on stage by Helena Bergström and Sarah Dawn Finer. Co-commentator, Edward af Sillen, is also connected to the festival, as he has been working with Melodifestivalen for some years. Executive project manager of the event, Thomas Hall, stated:

“To continue with Edward felt like a natural choice (…) Gina was an easy choice because she had a large and well-deserved breakthrough in this year’s Melodifestivalen. Through the experience from there, she will be an asset to the audience.

Sweden is among the favorites to win this year’s Eurovision Song Contest and will be represented by Loreen and her track, Euphoria.
