William Hill have cut the price of the United Kingdom winning the Eurovision Song Contest from 33/1 to 25/1 after a flurry of activity today.

Hills also offer 3/1 that Jedward have the number one single this Sunday.

"The rumours are that the BBC are in negotiations with Jedward to get them to take part in the programme that decides the UK entrant. We thought this would put off punters but amazingly we have taken a whole load of bets on the UK winning. That said we are still a shorter price for the UK to get nil point than we are for the UK to win it," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill Bet:

3/1 Jedward to have the number one on the 7th Feburary
16/1 UK 'Nil Point'
25/1 UK To Win The Eurovision

Jedward were contestants on the X Factor in the UK, despite not being the best singers in the competition they attracted a cult following.
