The most serene principality in the world is back at Eurovision, with one of the Contest’s most popular singers returning to the stage.

Valentina Monetta is in the building, alongside newbie Jimmie Wilson, representing San Marino with a party song.

They got into the Spirit of the Night at the Eurovision Press Centre as they chatted with Michael about their song, how much choreography is involved and what their own party songs are.
