Josh to be UK’s Eurovision hope

A 19-YEAR-OLD singer has been chosen to represent the UK in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

And the teen said he thought the UK’s song was a “definite winner”.

Josh Dubovie, from Basildon, Essex, won the most votes from the public after performing live on Your Country Needs You!

The show saw six acts battle it out to go to the Eurovision contest in Oslo, Norway, in May.

Pete Waterman, who wrote this year’s song – That Sounds Good To Me – whittled the competitors down to three before the audience was able to select the winner.

The teenager beat competition from Alexis Gerred, 20, Esma Akkilic, 17, girlband Miss Fitz, five-piece group Uni5 and Karen Harding, 18.
