With her moderation of the ESC 2025, Hazel Brugger provides a lot of attention – and especially outside the German -speaking area for true storms of enthusiasm. In social networks, international spectators are overturning with praise for the 31-year-old Swiss.
“Hazel Brugger is slowly becoming my favorite. What an icon,” a user writes to X. “Completely obsessed with this disaster of a diva presenter-she is my favorite right to Petra,” says another person.
“Hazel Brugger only waited all day to do that. To be honest: I celebrate Hazel Brugger all evening – she is hilarious,” praises one person.

ESC 2025: Graham Norton praises Hazel Brugger
The British moderator Graham Norton was also enthusiastic about Brugger. The long-time BBC presenter praised the Swiss in the highest tones. It is “wonderful-a kind of anti-host”.
Of course there were also contrary opinions. In German -speaking countries in particular, some spectators were critical of platforms such as X. Her appearance works “wood”, “stiff” or “emotionless”, it said isolated. But one thing is certain: Hazel Brugger remained a memory with her moderation at the ESC 2025 – and definitely caused a breath of fresh air.
