No feeling Blue for the UK's Eurovision act

Blue will represent the UK at this weekend's Eurovision Song Contest in Germany and have been receiving words of good luck from other stars of music. 

Duncan James told the Daily Star that one well-wisher in particular gave them a real confidence boost:

“I spoke to David Furnish and Elton said: ‘Good luck to you and the boys. I’m backing you all the way to win’"

The group, who have struggled with getting support from the UK, are excited to perform on May 14, but the nerves are starting to set in as James added:

"Eurovision is f***ing scary."

“But that adrenalin buzz is why we do want to do the job in the first place.”
