Antony Costa is an English singer-songwriter and actor. He is best known as a member of the boyband Blue. Costa is a member of the boy band Blue, who went their own ways in 2005, but reformed to perform at Capital FM's Summertime Ball in 2009.
In 2004, Costa, along with singer Peter André, was given the opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Tony Blair at the celebrations on the arrival of ten new members into the European Union which included Cyprus. He was a contestant on the 2005 series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and was evicted from the programme on 3 December 2005 after fourteen days. Costa released his debut solo single called "Do You Ever Think of Me" in February 2006. The single made its debut and peaked at number nineteen on the UK Singles Chart. Costa worked on the song with Songwriter John McLaughlin and performed live with Scottish session musician Paul Boyd. He went on to compete in the 2006 Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up programme to find a competitor to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, but did not win the honour, with "It's a Beautiful Thing". In June 2006 Costa posed naked for Cosmopolitan magazine's 10 Years of Naked Male Centrefolds, alongside other stars including singer Ronan Keating, actor Danny Dyer, Labour MP Jim Devine, and TV presenter Craig Doyle.
Costa's debut album, Heart Full of Soul was released on 3 July 2006 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The album failed to chart and he was subsequently dropped by his record label, Globe Records. On 28 April 2009, Blue announced that they had reformed and would soon return to the stage that summer.
