An 8-year-old Bray girl is set to take to the stage tonight during the interval act for the second Eurovision semi-final.

Megan Geoghegan won a competition to take part in the show after she submitted a clip of herself hip-hop dancing.

“I think it’s going to be really fun. I’m the only Irish dancer taking part” said Megan. “My family and friends can’t wait to see me on the stage.”

Dancers aged from 8 to 69 years will be taking part in the interval act and Megan will be the first person on stage.

Can-Linn featuring Kasey Smith will be performing for Ireland in the Eurovision competition tonight with Heartbeat.

Heartbeat is the 9th song to be performed in tonight’s running in Copenhagen alongside 14 others including Malta, Israel, Norway, Georgia, Poland, Austria, Lithuania, Finland, Belarus, FYR Macedonia, Switzerland, Greece, Slovenia and Romania.

The Eurovision second semi-final airs on RTÉ Two at 8pm tonight.
