Pop superstar Jessica Mauboy has been announced as Australia’s representative for Eurovision 2018.
The popular song contest, which will be broadcast on SBS from May 9 to 13 next year, will be held in Lisbon, Portugal.
It will not be the first time Mauboy has performed on a Eurovision stage, in 2014 she was invited to Denmark to perform during the music competition’s interval.
The 28-year-old said she was so excited and honoured to be representing her country at a competitive level.
“I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!!! In 2018, I will be representing Australia at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest!!” Mauboy tweeted.
“I will sing my heart out for Australia, I’m so proud to be officially representing my country and a little bit nervous — mainly about the dress!”
