Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on the popular ITV show This Morning, Lena said on the UK daytime television show that sports people always talk about defending their title and that she wants to do the same.

Lena was introduced by Phil and Holly as an international singing sensation. They welcomed Lena ,who was dressed in jeans and purple jacket, and then asked about her entering the contest in Germany.
