Scooch win Eurovision 'sing-off'

Scooch

Pop group Scooch will represent the UK at the Eurovision contest - even though there was confusion when TV presenters announced different winners!

Making Your Mind Up host Fearne Cotton said Scooch had won, while Terry Wogan said Cyndi was the winner.

But then Fearne quickly said it was definitely Scooch who were off to Finland to represent the UK in the European singing competition in May.

The BBC said sorry for the confusion and confirmed Scooch were the winners.

Afterwards, Scooch singer Russ Spencer said: "All we want to do is bring Eurovision back to pure pop - what it should be about."
