Jade Ewen will represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest

Jade Ewen will represent the UK at tomorrow's Eurovision Song Contest final in Moscow, having been chosen by BBC viewers as the best of the bunch on Eurovision: Your Country Needs You. She will perform "It's My Time", composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber especially for the competition.

Jade was born and brought up in Plaistow, London, to a Jamaican mother, Carol and a half British half Sicilian father, Trevor. Her father is blind and partially deaf, and her mother is partially blind. Because of her parents' disabilities, Jade has become a carer to both her parents and two younger siblings. Despite this, she managed to have dancing lessons from the age of three, and subsequently achieved a scholarship to the Sylvia Young Theatre. Later on she appeared in several theatre plays.
