Jade Ewen may be flying the flag for the UK - but Norway are the favourites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Alexander Rybak's song Fairytale is 13-8 to win the competition in Moscow on Saturday, according to Betfair, with Jade lagging behind on 18-1. Other contenders are Greece (7-1), Turkey (10-1) and Bosnia And Herzegovina (14-1). Betfair spokesman Michael Robb said: "Eurovision always provides a few shocks, not only with seven-foot transvestites and Irish turkeys, but also in the betting. "A massive £9 million traded on the contest last year, even more than the FA Cup Final held the week before. "This year it looks like Norway are the ones to beat but with the new voting rules in place and no more Terry Wogan, who knows what could happen?" Meanwhile, Eurovision fans are aiming to create a world record for the largest amount of assembled Abba impersonators singing at one time. The attempt - organised by Betfair - will be made in London's Leicester Square on Thursday evening, with the gathered crowd singing a rendition of Waterloo. Fifty sets of Abba impersonators will be needed for the record attempt to be valid, and all participants are required to dress as their chosen Abba member.
