[1] All 41 countries who were scheduled to compete in 2020 will return, as will many of the contestants who were supposed to take part last year. However, all artists will be required to perform a different song. Returning participants include Ireland's Lesley Roy and Iceland's Daði Freyr, who was tipped as a potential winner. 

The BBC has yet to reveal who will represent the UK, but last year's contestant, James Newman, has previously said he is keen to return. "I've said that I want to do it," he told BBC Radio 1 last year. "For me, it's like I want to finish what I started."
