X-Factor twins could represent the UK in Euro contest

Rumours abound that X-Factor duo Jedward may be asked to compete in the television show on the BBC that decides who will be the UK entry for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The Irish twins are 3/1 to be UK number one this Sunday, with their debut single, Ice Ice Baby, and WilliamHill have also reported that the rumours have seen the UK backed in from 33/1 to 25/1 to win Eurovision.

Hills spokesman Rupert Adams told bettingpro:

"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."
