Boxing legend puts vocal skills down to his Eurovision star dad

BARRY McGuigan's impressive vocals prove he has music in his genes thanks to his dad, who came fourth in Eurovision.

The former world boxing champion hit all the right notes as he joined Danny Jones for a rendition of the McFly song Shine A Light.

Afterwards, campmate Reverend Richard Coles remarked: "Revelation of the evening - Barry McGuigan can sing like a canary. It was lovely."

But to those who know Barry, it is no surprise that he takes after dad Pat, who competed at the 1968 song contest at the Royal Albert Hall in London with Chance of a Lifetime.

Among his rivals that year was Cliff Richard, who came second with his smash hit Congratulations.
