Andy Abraham is UK's 'worst Eurovision entrant'

'X Factor' star has longest odds ever

Former 'X Factor' star Andy Abraham is the UK's worst Eurovision entrant, according to bookies ahead of this weekend's final (May 24).

The ex-binman is currently at odds of 66-1 to win the competition, the longest odds of any UK entry in Eurovision's 52-year history.

Abraham, who will perform the song 'Even If' in Belgrade on Saturday, began with odds of 20-1 but has since fallen.

The singer is up against competition from entries including Irish puppet Dustin The Turkey and Sweden's hotly-tipped Charlotte Perrelli.
