Jedward could be 2011 Eurovision Song Contest favourites

Jedward heavily backed to win Eurovision
Jedward were a hit on the X Factor and are now second favourites to win the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest for Ireland

Jedward's appeal is spanning the length and breadth of Europe according to Ladbrokes.

Confirmation that the wacky twins have the necessary Euro-winning formula was confirmed with Eurovision fans spurning entries from their own countries to back the pair for glory this Saturday. Bets have been taken from as far afield as Austria, Germany & Scandinavia in conjunction with relentless support in their native Ireland and the UK.

The twins are now just 9/2 to win having been as big as 25/1 last week and it now appears to be a matter of time only before they are the favourites for the competition.

UK entrants Blue (9/1 to win) have taken a swipe at the pair labelling them 'gimmicky' and at this stage the bookies are siding with the boy band (4/6) in a head to head* against Jedward (11/10).

It's 14/1 either twin stage dives during their performance and only 6/1 either drops the microphone. They're 8/1 to end with 'Danke Schon, Deutschland'.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "The prospect of a Jedward win is keeping us awake at night. Euro-punters across the continent are logging on to back the boys which is the biggest signal yet they have the winning formula."
