Antigoni Buxton, a Love Island star, is in negotiations to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest, MailOnline has learned.
The 26-year-old reality star, who is of Greek and Cypriot descent, travelled to Athens to perform her art before submitting three songs to the nation’s top TV network, which broadcast the event.
She has been informed that a decision will be made soon, and she is optimistic that she will be given the go-ahead to perform at the championship event in Liverpool the following year.
She told the MailOnline: ‘I’m submitting three songs but one, in particular, is my favourite. It’s an up-tempo, powerful, fiery, romantic track with Greek and English lyrics.
‘I’m so proud of my Greek roots and my goal as a musician is to share Greek sounds and culture with the world,’ she added.
