Mikey hopes song written for wife can win Eurovision spot

‘Baby, Nothing’s Wrong’, which Graham also performs, beat off competition from hundreds of other entries, including one by Ronan Keating.

Last night, Graham (38) expressed his delight at the song’s selection by a panel including former Eurovision winner Linda Martin.
