Take That are Britain's top Eurovision choice

TAKE THAT would be the UK's first choice to represent the nation in the Eurovision song contest.

A survey carried out by BT Eurovictory found that Brits think the reunited pop group would the act most likely to claim the UK's first Eurovision win in more than ten years.

Girls Aloud were chosen as the nation's second choice dream Eurovision act, while X Factor winner Leona Lewis came third.

Amy Winehouse came fourth while comedian Peter Kay rounded off the top five.

Katrina and the Waves' Love Shine A Light was the last British entry to win the competition in 1997.

Katrina has been calling on UK viewers to help this year's contender, Jade Ewen, to victory in Moscow.

She said: "We've got a great entry this year, so we've got every chance of winning.

"The reintroduction of juries for 50 per cent of the vote should work in our favour, but if every UK family called just one person in Europe and persuaded them to vote for the UK that would absolutely seal the deal.

"I remember how important my friends and family's support was to me when I won in 1997, so I'll definitely be calling on them to help Jade win this year."


The UK's top ten dream Eurovision acts are:

1 Take That
2 Girls Aloud
3 Leona Lewis
4 Amy Winehouse
5 Peter Kay
6 Will Young
7 Lily Allen
8 Iron Maiden
9 Duffy
10 Tom Jones
