BBC RUBBISH EUROVISION ‘CHEATING’ REPORTS
LATEST: The BBC have dismissed reports the UK’s Eurovision Song Contest entry SCOOCH cheated to win the chance to represent the country in a televised contest on Saturday (17MAR07), insisting all of the group’s vocals were sung live.
A number of acts including Scooch, former EAST 17 singer BRIAN HARVEY, ex-THE DARKNESS frontman JUSTIN HAWKINS and hip-hop group BIG BROVAZ competed for the opportunity to become the UK’s Eurovision entry on the BBC TV programme MAKING YOUR MIND UP.
Scooch were the surprise victors - but Harvey today (20MAR07) claimed they mimed and their song FLYING THE FLAG (FOR YOU) was sung by two singers hiding backstage.
However, a BBC spokesperson denied all reports of foul-play, saying, "They and any of the band are allowed within Eurovision rules to have backing vocalists out of vision. All of Scooch’s vocals were sung live as were all six acts."
