Last year, Chanel became the first winner of Benidorm Fest in the new era. She took her “SloMo” to Eurovision and gave Spain a third place. Terrero was present in Benidorm tonight to hand over the winner’s trophy to Blanca. Blanca Paloma will now be hoping to replicate Chanel’s Eurovision success as well.
