Instead, Javine became a solo artist in 2003 and her debut single, 'Real Things' charted at No 4 in the UK although she had limited success with follow-up singles and a failed album "Surrender". In 2005 Javine was chosen to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest on 21 May 2005 with the song "Touch My Fire".
After appearing on Channel 4 reality show "The Games" and starring in the West End, Javine caused controversy after having an affair with Alesha Dixon's husband MC Harvey. The couple had a child together in 2008 before splitting in 2009.

@naorion247
I have to say, this is an EXTREMELY catchy song,and she is a very good singer,but omg the song is so catchy I can't stop listening to it
@Maxiecrest14
Most underrated song of the 21st century so far.
@AlexMoby
2005 was a strong year but honestly, iot's perhaps the most underrated British entry since 2000.
@aleksanderpagels288
And also the least British sounding song. Which is why it's one of their most underrated ones
@No-ls7gk
Aleksander Pagels a lot of other countries send “british” sounding songs every year tho lol
@bigrayl
AlexMoby you must be joking this crap deserved nul points, typical of the U.K. can’t think of a year in recent memory where this didn’t deserve to come in last.
@jackward9901
@@aleksanderpagels288 Meh, I wouldnt say that. Britain would do extremely well at Eurovision if we made an effort to send CURRENT British music, but we always send stuff that last charted in the UK in 1989.
@noahbowie5985
2005 was the first year my parents let me stay up and watch Eurovision with them (I was 8 at the time). The UK and Greece were my favourite entries and they still are. I was very happy Greece won but also upset to see the UK finish so low with a really good song imo and great choreography. Touch my fire will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first Eurovision song I loved.
@Can-wq5wt
If Turkey had sent this song, it would have entered the top 5.
