If the fashionista is successful in her round, she will complete in the final on Saturday 8 March, with the chosen winner going on to represent the country in Basel on May 17. 

Taking to Instagram, Victoria said: ‘What a dream come true. I don’t really understand yet that I’m going to participate in @melodifestivalen. It’s going to be so much fun… but a lot of time and sweat should be put into making it good.  I Love it!

‘See you in Jönköping on March 1’.

Born in Skelleftehamn, Victoria was raised in a family of five in Bollnäs. 

Victoria enjoyed a lengthy stint in the spotlight after being chosen to represent her country in the Miss World pageant in 1993.

After her pageant days, the Scandinavian beauty was spotted by Hugh Hefner and went on to become a Playboy Playmate.

Since her career rocketed, Victoria has modelled for some of the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, including Chanel, Dior and Valentino.

Despite the glamorous veneer to her lifestyle as a young model, she revealed there was a dark side in a recent interview with Female First.

Victoria said: ‘I started very young to model in Paris when I was 18, I remember like starving myself to fit into the clothes.

‘It was an amazing experience but you know I did shows for Valentino, Chanel, so it was really prestigious.’

The international singing compeтιтion is being hosted in Switzerland after Swiss singer Nemo took the trophy earlier this year in Malmo, Sweden.

The Swiss star, 25, became the compeтιтion’s first non-binary winner, after they scored 365 points with the juries and 226 from the public for a total of 591 with their song The Code.

Four cities were in the running to host, including Basel, Bern, Geneva and Zurich, with Geneva and Basel being narrowed down as the final two.

The selection also means 2025 will mark the sixth consecutive year that the compeтιтion hasn’t taken place in a country’s capital city.

Due to be hosted in the St Jakobshalle arena, the venue is situated in Münchenstein and is usually used for indoor sports and concert events and has a capacity of 12,400 people.
