    I remember watching this in the run up to Eurovision 2006 and actually admiring his bullishness about his chances simply because it made a welcome change from the previous UK acts who were almost waving the white flag as soon as they were chosen.
    Watching it with hindsight, though, it's clear that he pushed the self-confidence too far and set himself up for the fall he got with the result; pointing to the camera and saying "we're finishing top 5" was just asking for trouble.
    Even so, I'm glad he represented the UK in the Contest and I hope he'll have the chance to do so again at some stage - although perhaps as a writer rather than a performer.

    A friend of mine used to be one of this guy's teachers back in his Stockport days, and he said he was a bit of a fantasist.
    Little did he know back then what we know, that he would ascend to the heady heights of finishing inside the top 20 of the Eurovision Song Contest, being a professional football coach in global demand, while at the same time being a full-time editor of his own Wikipedia page.
    He did say, though, that he had a good heart.
