The broadcaster took to twitter to confirm growing rumours and reports that they have withdrawn.

Hi there, due to the present circumstances, unfortunately we will not be taking part in this years contest 😢

S4C went on to elaborate on their current position in any future participation.

We'll miss everyone too! We won't be broadcasting it this year and no decision has been taken about our participation next year at present.

What was different about the Welsh entries and participation was due to the fact that the broadcaster is a Welsh language broadcaster, their entries and national final presentations were all done in Welsh. A first for the contest.
