Sam Ryder confirms A1 boyband member Ben Adams represented Norway at Eurovision

THIS year’s Eurovision Song Contest has been a whirlwind for many reasons.

The UK’s Sam Ryder very nearly brought back a win at the competition, this year held in Turin, Italy.

However, this wasn’t the most unexpected thing to come out of this year’s Eurovision.

Speaking to Magic Radio on Wednesday’s breakfast show, Sam revealed that former boy band member Ben Adams was in fact one of the two members of Subwoolfer.

Ben, 40, rose to fame in the the late nineties as a member of the band A1 alongside Christian Ingebrigtsen, Paul Marazzi and Mark Read.

The Anglo-Swedish band were huge in the UK and enjoyed four years of success before breaking up in 2002.

Speculation has been rife that Ben had returned to the stage to represent Norway at this year’s Eurovision, and Sam confirmed it.

Asked about whether or not the masked yellow wolf was Ben, Sam said: “Yeah absolutely was. He is a legend, Ben”.

Sam explained: “I saw Ben getting a croissant at the buffet tower and I was like, ‘Hang on, what are you doing here?’… I am so intrigued by the whole story.

“I did not get a chance to ask him because I did not want to let onto him that I knew who he was.”

The talented singer explained how he’d seen him with the yellow morph suit and wolf mask on: “As I am chatting to this guy in a wolf mask and in my head, ‘I know you’re Ben from A1 but I do not want to tell you I know.'”
