RTVE have now announced the names of the three hosts that will be presenting the next edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest – and they may very well be familiar to ESC and JESC fans alike!

Murcia-born Ruth Lorenzo represented Spain at Eurovision in 2014 with her song, “Dancing in the Rain”, which finished in tenth place in the contest. She also finished in fifth place in the UK version of The X Factor in 2008, and has also hosted Spain’s pre-selection show, Benidorm Fest.

Marc Clotet is an award-winning actor, who can be seen in many Spanish films, television shows, and stages throughout the country. The first series that his production company, alongside RTVE created, was given honours at both the Cannes Series Festival and the Prix Europa Awards.

And finally, Melani García will already be familiar to JESC fans, as she finished in third place at the 2019 contest with her song “Marte”, which was held in Gliwice, Poland. At Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards in 2022, she was nominated for Best Spanish Artist.

You’ll be able to watch all three stars perform their hosting duties at the 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on 16th November 2024, live from the Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain. 17 countries will be taking part, including returning nations Cyprus and San Marino. Let’s Bloom is this year’s theme, which references the young artists that will be ‘blossoming’ when they’re on stage performing to the world.
