Pete Waterman has revealed that Simon Cowell has one big ambition…..he wants to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

Pete is penning this years UK entry and reveals that he knows Mr Cowell will be desperately jealous of his newest project.

The former Pop Idol judge told Radio Times: “I have a sneaky suspicion this will needle him more than anything else I’ve done. The one thing he’s always wanted to do is Eurovision.”

Pete will follow in the footsteps of Andrew Lloyd Webber who wrote last year’s Eurovision entry. The public will choose the singer who will front Britain’s campaign.

Pete laughed: “I wouldn’t be doing it this year if it wasn’t for him. At least he failed – I can’t do any worse than he has.”
