KAN, the Israeli national broadcaster, unveiled yesterday during a special press conference that ‘Wonder Woman’ aka Gal Gadot will be gracing the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final.

Ever since Netta was crowned the winner of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon, Gal Gadot‘s name was making headlines in Israel as the hot favourite to host the competition in 2019. The mediatic speculation surrounding her potential as the 2019 ESC hostess triggered further rumours and rejoinders in the local media. Allegedly the internationally celebrated actress had to decline the invitation to host the contest due her tight professional schedule.

But hang on Gal Gadot is gonna be part of the show! Yuval Cohen ( ESC 2019 Director and Editor in Chief) unveiled during KAN’s press conference yesterday, that the Wonder Woman will grace the 2019 Eurovision edition during the Grand Final, but he was tight lipped regarding her role in the show. Hence we don’t know in what capacity she will be involved in the Grand Final as KAN is keeping everything under the wraps.

One thing we know for sure is that she will show us Tel Aviv and Israel as never seen before during a special segment.
