Before Junior Eurovision

National final

A national final was held by Independent Television to select the UK entry for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004.
The final, broadcast on digital channel ITV2, was held on 4 September 2004 and was presented by Holly Willoughby, Stephen Mulhern and Michael Underwood. Regional televoting was held to select the winner from the 8 competing acts.

At Junior Eurovision

The 2004 Eurovision Song Contest was initially to be held in Manchester. However, ITV abandoned the project due to finance and scheduling problems. It was therefore moved to Lillehammer in Norway.
On the night of the contest, Cory Spedding performed 13th in the running order of the contest, following Latvia and preceding Denmark. At the close of the voting Cory received 140 points, placing 2nd of the 18 competing entries, beaten by María Isabel of Spain.
