Antigoni’s family, including her mother and grandparents, make an appearance in the music video for Jalla – but she also roped in a few other big cameos.
Fans of Britain’s Got Talent will recognise Stavros Flatley, the father-son dance duo who shot to fame on the ITV talent show in 2009.
“In the UK, if you had to name a Cypriot thing that’s happened, it’s that,” says Antigoni.
“I contacted Demi, which is Stavros Flatley’s real name, and was like, ‘would you be in the video?’
“And he did it with such an open heart.”
As a former reality TV contestant herself, Antigoni says she’s looking forward to stepping into the public eye again after appearing on Love Island.
“That’s the thing about Eurovision, it’s almost the opposite of some things I’ve done in the public eye in the past where people want to judge and give bad comments,” she says.
“People still do, but it’s a very loving community. It’s a really warm, happy, loving, supportive community.
“Everyone sees that it’s a big opportunity to learn about culture, to have fun.
“So I feel overwhelmed with joy and with gratitude.”
