Joe Woolford and Jake Shakeshaft have been chosen to fly the Union Jack at the Eurovision song contest.
The pair previously went head-to-head on The Voice, but after being presented with six options the public decided Joe and Jake – and their song You’re Not Alone – were the best.

It’s fair to say though that the public are pretty split on whether this gives the UK a good chance of winning.
Well the voting public got it right! It's so much better when the BBC give us the chance to vote @JoeandJakemusic #EurovisionYouDecide

Sending The Voice rejects to Eurovision. The definition of scraping the barrel #EurovisionYouDecide

Good luck in Sweden, Joe and Jake. Hopefully the rest of Europe finds you slightly less polarising.
