Euro-Mozzer, is he only joking?

NEWS that Morrissey was in talks with the BBC to write this year's Eurovision entry for the UK made world-wide headlines last week, but it now appears that the nation may have to look elsewhere for a winning song.

According to a source close to the singer the idea was 'amusing but never going to happen'.

And a spokesperson for Mozzer's record company Sanctuary Records has said: "He has certainly had an invitation, but we think it is unlikely he will be taking this forward."

It seems that Morrissey's much publicised interest in the contest does not stretch to actually taking part.

Comments made by the ex-Smiths icon following the UK's dismal performance at last year's contest prompted the BBC to write to his record company to ask if he would consider submitting a song.

However as any entrant would still have to win a qualifying round and public vote to get through to the Eurovision finals, the chances of Morrissey taking part were slim.

Wha do you think? Have your say.
