    This year's UK entry is Remember Monday with their song What the Hell Just Happened

    Welcome! We're back in Basel as the world's biggest music competition gears up for its second semi-final.

    After the first round on Tuesday, we already know that Iceland, Sweden and Estonia have qualified. Tonight, ten more countries will make the grade, and six will be sent packing.

    We'll also see the first performance by the UK’s entry, Remember Monday, with their showboating rock opera What The Hell Just Happened.

    The trio don’t have to worry about viewers’ votes though, as the UK gets free passage to the final as part of the “Big Five” nations whose financial contributions keep the competition going.

    Stay with us as we bring you all the action - the show kicks off at 21:00 local time (20:00 BST).
