Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey, the Aussie Eurovision commentators have stepped down from their roles at SBS.

The fabulous Aussie duo Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey have decided to step down from their roles as the Australian ESC commentators. They have been bringing Eurovision up close and personal to the Aussie audience since 2017.

SBS’ official statement reads:

Eurovision’s Next Verse: Myf and Joel bid farewell after unforgettable years with SBS.

Since 2017, the most dynamic duo in the biz, acclaimed TV and radio personalities, music buff Myf Warhurst and comedian Joel Creasey have shared the joy of Eurovision with Australian audiences but are now ready to step out of the commentary booth and pass on their glittery microphones in 2025.

SBS would like to extend their sincere thanks to Myf & Joel for their incredible work over the years. We look forward to sharing our exciting plans for Eurovision in 2025 in due course.

Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey say:

It’s been a huge honour to host the Eurovision Song Contest for SBS, but the time has come to hang up our glitter microphones. We have absolutely adored watching our Australian artists compete on the world stage and it’s been a privilege to bring that experience to our dedicated Australian Eurovision fans.

We are very grateful to SBS and Blink TV and both acknowledge that one of the best things to come out of all of this is our beautiful friendship. We certainly aim to work together in some capacity again soon. 

We wish SBS and the new hosts all the very best with future broadcasts, and we look forward to getting up super early next year to watch it with the rest of Australia from the couch in our pyjamas.

Emily Griggs (SBS/ Australian Head of Delegation) says:

SBS is incredibly grateful to have had the privilege of working with the wonderful Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey on the Eurovision Song Contest.

Since 2017, this dynamic duo has brought passion, knowledge and undeniable chemistry to every broadcast, connecting Australian audiences to the magic of Eurovision. We thank Myf and Joel for their dedication, enthusiasm and brilliant banter which has made Eurovision a yearly highlight for fans across the country.

Forever part of the Eurovision family, we’ll cherish your sparkling years in the commentary booth and can’t wait for you to pass on your hot tips and expertise as we welcome our new hosts in 2025.

Paul Clarke (Creative Director at Eurovison for Australia) says:

Other than music and wind machines, Eurovision is also about joy, passion and camaraderie. Finding hosts that embody this is never easy, but we struck gold with Myf and Joel eight years ago and have loved working with them ever since. We wish them all the best post-Eurovision. We are excited to introduce you to a dynamic new host team for 2025 – watch this space!
