Nikkie de Jager serves on the judging panel of Eurosong, the Belgian preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest. The YouTuber and former Eurovision presenter will form the professional jury together with fourteen others and, together with the public, will determine who will travel to Liverpool on behalf of Belgium in May.
De Jager is not the only international name for the Belgians. The former Norwegian Eurovision winner Alexander Rybak (2009) also decides.
The jury also includes former Belgian candidates Laura Tesoro (2016) and Jérémie Makiese (2022). Makiese participated last year on behalf of Belgium. In the final he scored 64 points and thus finished in nineteenth place.
The final of Eurosong will take place on January 14. Singing duo Dion Cooper and Mia Nicolai represent the Netherlands in Liverpool. It will be announced later with which number they will participate.
