Scooch have won the contest to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in May, despite a blunder over the announcement of the final winner.The group's airline themed tune Flying The Flag (For You) and camp dance routine beat five other contenders vying for the chance to represent the UK at Eurovision.
There was confusion in the studio when hosts Terry Wogan and Fearne Cotton simultaneously announced different winners.
Seconds later Cotton said Scooch had won the public vote and not Cyndi.
A BBC statement later apologised for the error but confirmed Scooch had won.
"This is live TV and unfortunately sometimes these things do happen," it added.
The blunder comes in the wake of the enquiry into the trustworthiness of premium rate phone-ins on TV shows including Blue Peter and Richard & Judy.
