Eurovision icon Cheryl Baker, famed for Bucks Fizz, defended the singing competition’s increasingly saucy acts in recent years. Fans of the legendary contest have witnessed sexy milkmaids churn butter on stage, performers in backless chaps and one Finnish entrant, Windows95man, almost exposed himself while rocking a tiny nude thong last year.

Due to the obscene ringtone used by Malta’s entrant, Serving Kant, which sounded too offensive, things didn’t get any better this year. Finland will also be sporting latex-style pants. Cheryl, the former Eurovision champion, described the smuttiness as “part of the fun.”

She defended the iconic competition despite her belief that Finland’s performance was “too far.”

Cheryl said at the WhichBingo 2025 Awards in Gibraltar, “Bucks Fizz wouldn’t have won without the skirt rip, so thank goodness for that.”

You must have the skirt rip moment. Something that distinguishes it from the competition.
