'Coronation Street' star Michelle Keegan has said she will be voting for Irish entry Jedward in the Eurovision Song Contest.

The actress, who plays Tina McIntyre in the soap, described Jedward's song 'Lipstick' as "brilliant" and "catchy".

She told The Herald: "I was watching them and I just love the song, it's so catchy.

"I've got a couple of nephews and they're all obsessed with them. I'm quite a fan myself.

"I've met them a couple of times now - in Dublin last year and at some other award shows and things like that. They're always very nice and friendly.

"They're great fun and they're exactly what Ireland needs in the Eurovision. I'll be voting for them and I'm sure most of the people in the UK will.

"They've got a massive following after 'The X Factor'. Who knows? Maybe they'll win it."
