It's not the first time that members of the group have bid to take part in the competition. Lee Ryan wrote and composed "Guardian Angel", Andy Scott-Lee's song for the 2005 edition of Making Your Mind Up. Furthermore, Antony Costa came second in the 2006 edition of the show with the song "It's A Beautiful Thing". Group member Duncan James was a panellist on all episodes of the Eurovision: Your Country Needs You series in 2009 , which Jade Ewen won.
The self-penned song will be called "I Can" and a BBC documentary will follow the group's preparations for the contest. This is the first time since 1994 that an act has been chosen internally by the BBC.
Although BLUE haven't had hits for a number of years, we are cautiosuly optimistic of the UK's chances in Dusseldorf and looking forward to hearing their song. This will be the first time for several years that a well-known act will represent the UK. We think this is a good thing! Bring on the song!

What a surprise. Lets hope it's a up tempo song rather than a ballad.....otherwise Europe won't be turning Blue.....Daz
