UK second-favorite to win Eurovision with Olly Alexander

UK now 7/1 following Years & Years singer’s big reveal during Saturday’s Strictly final.

Following his big reveal during Saturday’s Strictly final, William Hill has made Olly Alexander and the UK second favourites to win next year’s edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Olly Alexander:

“I’ve loved watching Eurovision ever since I was a little kid and I’m beyond excited to be taking part next year.”

The Years & Years singer broadcast the news over the weekend that he will be representing the UK at Eurovision and has since become the 7/1 second favourite for next year’s competition, with Israel currently occupying the favourites tag at 6/1.

Sweden, who have won the competition twice in the last decade, sit on par with the UK at 7/1 along with 2022 winners Ukraine, with 2021 winners Italy just behind in the betting at 8/1.

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps:

“Following Olly Alexander’s big public announcement in the Strictly Come Dancing final, we have put him and the UK at 7/1 to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. As a multi-award-winning superstar in the music world with some hugely successful albums to his name, Olly will certainly be putting on a show for his fans and no doubt leaving his mark on the competition. Olly and the UK currently sit just behind favourites Israel (6/1) in the running, and on par with previous winners Sweden and Ukraine at 7/1.”
