Caroline, Russ, David, and Natalie returned to the spotlight this year when they reformed especially for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One's Making Your Mind Up – the UK's Eurovision entry selection programme. With a patriotic flourish, they performed their poptastic song for around seven million UK viewers.

Enjoying their bright performance and recognising the sheer Euro-appeal of the song, the country voted for Scooch to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest. The band and their winning song were the hottest property in pop and they were instantly snapped up by Warner Bros Records.

The band are now enjoying the build-up to Eurovision and are looking forward to the release of the single on 7 May 2007.

David says: "This whole experience is amazing. Winning the British vote was fantastic, and now we are releasing the single throughout Europe and preparing to go to Finland so we are just having a great, and very busy, time.
Ìý
"Flying The Flag definitely ticks all the boxes as far as a Eurovision song is concerned – it has a catchy tune, memorable lyrics, there is something for adults and children and the performance has a brilliant dance routine. We will definitely be flying the flag high for Britain in Finland."
