Cheryl Baker, a legend of the Bucks Fizz singing competition, defended the singing competition’s increasingly saucy acts as she claimed it was “part of the fun.”
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.”

“Life is a little smutty now, but it is a little smutty,” the saying goes. she stated. Nothing more extreme than that. It’s so funny to think that Bucks Fizz’s rip-off skirts were nothing compared to what they rip off now.
“It’s a part of Eurovision fun, isn’t it?” It’s always going to be that vibrant, extreme, fabulous, and joyful, and it’s fantastic once a year, Cheryl said.
The 71-year-old singer and TV presenter won the 1981 Grammy Award with their evocative song Making Your Mind Up.
During their iconic performance 44 years ago, the group made show history as the boys ripped the skirts off their female bandmates, revealing cheeky mini-skirts underneath for the girls to continue the performance in.
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.
You can have the best singer and the best song, but you must also have that quality that makes everyone think, “Wow, I want to see that again.” Although it might be lighting or special effects, it is what makes it unique.
