Love Actually fans gobsmacked after realising secret link to Eurovision – 21 years later


Love Actually's Aurelia is played by Ana Lucia Pereira Moniz - the same actress who represented her country in the Eurovision Song Contest all the way back in 1996

Though she's recognised widely for her endearing part in Love Actually, Moniz also made impressive strides in Eurovision, finishing sixth out of 23 participants. As the festive season rolls around, movie fans melt every time Aurelia and Jamie, played by Firth, come together after an unexpectedly charming romance develops. In a sweet twist of fate, although Aurelia speaks only Portuguese and Jamie only English, the language barrier couldn't keep them from finding love by the end of the film.
