In February 2006 it was announced that artists competing in the 2006 contest would include Kym Marsh and Antony Costa , both relatively well known in the UK for their past involvement with music bands ( the former appearing in Hear ' say and the latter in boy band Blue ) . Following the format of the previous year ( and with six songs this time ) , '' Making Your Mind Up '' returned in 2006 in a prime-time Saturday evening slot , and was broadcast on 4 March on BBC One . Terry Wogan and Natasha Kaplinsky once again presented and were accompanied by a ' Celebrity Jury ' that included chat-show host Jonathan Ross , pop star Kelly Osbourne and '' Top of the Pops '' presenter Fearne Cotton . The eventual winner of the 2006 contest ( after the 7 tele-juries from around the UK and mobile and web votes ) was Daz Sampson and his song " Teenage Life " . Yet another low result was produced for the United Kingdom , as Daz finished 19th in the contest out of 24 competing countries
