There has been some sad news in the world of Eurovision. We offer our deepest condolences to the Wogan family, and can assure them that he will be missed. You all have your own memories of him so I will not impose mine on you. But maybe we all need cheering up. After all, unfortunately life goes on. So today’s a birthday of a former winner of everyone’s favourite TV show. When her country first started participating, people didn’t really give them a hope of ever winning. Things started to look up in the late 1990s, and by 2005 Έλενα Παπαρίζου/Elena Paparizou only went and won the thing. Elena is 34 today.
Χρόνια πολλά, Έλενα!
