It was announced recently that boyband goons Blue would fly the flag for the UK and attempt to convince Europe that we haven't lost the musical talent we once possessed. We?d be lying if we weren't one of the people questioning the decision of sending a retired act to compete. But then again, we spend our lunchtime writing rude words out of alphabet soup. Who are we to judge?

Unlike the rest of Europe, the UK has a world famous broadcaster greasing the cogs for the band, telling then what to say, what to wear and generally making sure they receive gleaming PR.

So you'd assume it would be hard for Blue to make a mess of this glorious opportunity? Inevitably, you'd be wrong as a spanner has just been thrown in to the works. Not by chief moron Lee Ryan, oh no, it's by another pesky critter in the Blue ranks, Anthony Costa.
