Jedward have already been installed as joint second favourites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The effervescent duo were announced recently as Ireland's representatives for a second year in a row.

They'll perform their new track 'Waterline' as they attempt to navigate their way through the semi-finals in search of a spot at the grand final - but bookmaker William Hill have already placed them as joint second favourites to win the whole competition.

William Hill give the pair odds of 8/1 - not far off from overall favourites Denmark, who are priced at 7/1. The UK meanwhile remain a long shot with odds of 25/1.

The bookmaker's spokesman Joe Crilly said: "Jedward came close last year, eventually finishing a respectable eighth and with another year under their belts, could well do even better in Azerbaijan."
