She will represent the UK in Malmo, Sweden this coming weekend (May 18) with a track called 'Believe In Me' and Wales Online has quoted her as saying that fans keep saying it's unlikely the UK will win with such a strong offering:

"It has been said to me over the last couple of weeks, ‘You’re not going to win this Bonnie, your song is too good!’ Which is crazy, huh?"

Referring to being asked to enter Eurovision 2013, she added: "Firstly it was like, ‘Wow, Eurovision!’ I’d been asked 30 years ago and I couldn’t do it because I was so busy with 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart', which was number one and the album was number one too."

“About 120 million people watch Eurovision and I have a lot of friends in Europe. Maybe that’s why the BBC asked me because maybe they thought there’s a good chance. We have got a good song but you never know what can happen in Eurovision. It’ll be a great experience, I’m sure about that.”

Watch her perform the song live on Graham Norton's show here:

You've just released your debut single 'Dumb'. How's the reception been so far?

Oh my gosh, it's been so incredible. More than I could ever have wished for. It's a real testament to everyone who has supported me.

You've been performing live for a number of years - do you see this as your big break in a way?

I don't know if there is a big break anymore. I've always gigged and I hard work - I try to build a family of people around me, and hopefully that pays off.

Did you ever think about going on something like the X Factor?

That's never been a route that I've personally gone down. I've always written songs and performed them, so it hasn't been necessary in what I've done to do that. Never say never, but I think for me I'll always just go down the gigging route.

Some people will think of many up and coming popstars as being 'manufactured', but you don't really fit that bill?

I've been in the industry going hard for six years, but it's what I love to do and I think that's the way to do it - it's really in you.

It must mean you've got a bit of a fanbase already?

They're incredible. I call them TichFam, because I see them as part of the family. They get me through as much as I hopefully help them. They really rallied around and their support for 'Dumb' has been so incredible. It's kind of overwhelming to watch.

Do you have an album in the works?

Yeah, it's basically done. But I believe it's always been written - I can add to it and take away every day. It'll hopefully come out this year.

Any interesting collaborations on it?

There's a few that I can't say at the moment, but all will be revealed I'm sure...

You have recently received praise on Twitter from members of One Direction - was that surprising for you?

Yeah - I didn't expect it when Harry [Styles] and Louis [Tomlinson] tweeted me. To have such support from such influential people...I love how they work, I love their music...it means a lot.

Would you be open to working with them in the future?

Yeah, I'd love to.

What influences have inspired your songwriting?

Max Martin has really influenced me. Things around me inspire me. Classical music inspires me too. And I just write to help myself feel better sometimes.

What would you do if you weren't a singer? (from @NDUBZsarahlou)

I love cooking, so maybe a chef? I love being creative and making things.

What was the funniest moment about the Olly Murs tour? (from @LaurenJLS_Marv)

There's so many...probably when Loveable Rogues tried all my clothes on.

What does it feel like to be a celebrity? (from @Amiee_LouisGirl)

I wouldn't say that! When people come up and know who I am, I find that so crazy. I always think they're talking to someone else.

What was it like touring with Pixie Lott and Justin Bieber at such a young age? (from @AmberLottX)

I don't think it quite sunk in at the time. Looking back, I can't actually believe it. Pixie is a lovely, lovely girl and Justin obviously has gone on to do such incredible things. He was absolutely lovely as well. At the time I just kind of worked with it, but when I look back now I'm like 'Wow'.

If you had a pet giraffe, what would you name it? (from @kayleighhunter)

Jeremy!

Watch the lads perform a cover of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' below:

During an interview in Australia with host Jackie O, the lads were told about something *NSYNC singer Lance Bass recently said, which was that it's very likely one member in every boy band is gay and were asked to comment on his speculation.

Singer Jay McGuiness took the lead in the reply and said: "We heard it as a crazy theory that every boy band has to have one."

Fellow host Kyle Sandilands then asked, "which one of you guys? Which one?", to which McGuiness confessed: "I think most of us would probably have a dabble". 'Chasing The Sun' hitmaker Tom Parker quickly added: "Speak for yourself!"

Also at the warehouse blow-out on Saturday night in London, Little Boots has invited some of her DJ friends including 'Shake' co-creator James Ford, Crazy P, and notorious disco trouble makers Horse Meat Disco and Kris Di Angelis. Little Boots will also be DJing herself and there are more surprises in store! More information attached
