Blue selected for Eurovision

AGEING boy band Blue will represent the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, it was announced yesterday.

The four piece will perform the self-written song I Can at the competition in Dusseldorf, Germany in May.

It is the first time since 1997 that the UK has opted to be represented by an established act. On that occasion Katrina and The Waves triumphed with Love Shine a Light.

Formed in 2000, Blue had a two-year hiatus before reforming in 2009.

They have sold more than 13 million records.
