A BIG Reality Show Mistake...

Imagine if Ryan Seacrest accidentally announced the wrong winner for American Idol on live TV, then had to take it back. The entire US would come to a stop.

That's kind of what happened in the UK at the "Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up" song selection competition.

It was down to two: the group Scooch and the singer Cyndi. Only one could represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest. After dragging it out for as long as possible, the two hosts both yelled out (at the same time) a different winner. Oops.

Check out video of this embarrassing mistake here.

The winning performance can also be seen there. And the winning song is now available to buy on iTunes.

And yes, thanks to entertainment shows and tabloid magazines, the controversy rages on in the UK.
