UK Eurovision act 'mystery' as bookies name their favourite to compete in Liverpool

While the identity of the United Kingdom's Eurovision representative is still very much up in the air, bookies have named their favourite to fly the flag for us in Liverpool this year. And its an act that has already had considerable chart success.

The UK has experienced mixed fortunes to say the least in the Eurovision Song Contest over the years. While there have been wins for the likes of Brotherhood of Man and Bucks Fizz, the last time the nation triumphed was 26 years ago, with Katrina and the Waves in 1997. And it's been 20 years since Jemini became infamous after getting nil points with their track Cry Baby.

Ironically, the duo hailed from Liverpool, which is where this year's Eurovision will be held, after the European Broadcasting Union ruled that last year;'s winners, Ukraine, weren;'t able to stage the annual event.
