Michelle Hunziker dreams of presenting the ESC 2025 in Basel. She is reportedly already on the shortlist.  

Michelle Hunziker (47) is very interested in hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in her home town of Basel. "Of course I would do it immediately. It would be a huge honor," said Hunziker in an interview with the Swiss newspaper "Blick". As an experienced presenter of major shows, including "Wetten, dass...?", she would be an ideal choice for the international music spectacle. The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the biggest television events in the world and attracts more than 150 million viewers to their screens every year.

The ESC 2025 will be hosted by the Swiss media company SRG after the Swiss singer Nemo won the ESC 2024 in Malmö with his song "The Code". The final is set to take place in Basel on May 17. However, no official announcements have yet been made regarding the host or other details of the show.

Hunziker, who lives in Italy and plays a prominent role on both Italian and German-language television, is considered one of the favorites for the presenting job. She is delighted at the prospect of this opportunity: "It's great that my name is being talked about." But at the same time, she clarifies: "I haven't been approached yet." 

Should Michelle Hunziker actually get the chance to host the Eurovision Song Contest, it would be another milestone in her international career and a special return to her Swiss roots. Hunziker, who is known for her charming and professional manner, would be a perfect fit for the colorful and exciting spectacle of the ESC, according to many fans.
