UK Eurovision entry Look Mum No Computer, real name Sam Battle, has welcomed a baby boy named Max with his wife. The musician announced the birth on Instagram on Friday, posting a photo of himself in a yellow hat and writing: “Speak soon everyone. Max born today happy healthy Back on it soon. Take care.”
Battle, 36, was announced in February as the UK's representative for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Vienna, Austria, in May. The contest begins with the first semi-final on Tuesday, 12 May, followed by the final on Saturday, 16 May, at the Wiener Stadthalle. Thirty-five countries will compete, with Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain opting out in protest against Israel's inclusion. Austria is hosting after JJ won the 2025 edition with 'Wasted Love'.
Look Mum No Computer will perform 'Eins, Zwei, Drei', a song described as having a 'whimsical and strikingly witty feel' with playful lyrics and undertones of Britpop and eighties synthwave. It is said to be about escaping the nine-to-five grind into a world of dreams and possibilities.
Battle, known for his YouTube channel launched in 2016, has amassed over 85 million views and 1.4 million combined subscribers and followers. He recently told the BBC: “There's a lot of stuff going on with the voting, a lot of favouritism... So I'm just going to be myself and hope they see that I'm an all right guy.”
BBC Eurovision congratulated the couple, and Belgian entrant Essyla called the baby “most adorable ever seen”. Model Laura Colman also posted congratulations. The UK has not won Eurovision since Katrina and the Waves in 1997.
