Eurovision 2024: Olly Alexander is left in stitches of laughter as he looks up ... trends now
Olly Alexander was left in stitches of laughter after looking up his shockingly low odds of winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
The singer, 33, is representing the United Kingdom with his hit Dizzy and performed the song during the semi-final with plenty of raunchy dance moves.
Ahead of the final on Saturday night, Olly bravely googled his Eurovision odds and saw bookies predicted the singer a one percent chance of winning the contest.
After seeing the brutal predictions, Olly laughed off the embarrassment and joked 'it was better than zero'.
Olly told the BBC: 'My odds for winning are at one per cent, but that’s fine. It’s better than zero.'

Earlier this week, Olly spoke about the dramatic moment his Eurovision semi-final performance went awry, after sparking concern among fans with his 'shaky' vocals.
The Years and Years singer spoke to Lorraine on Wednesday about the 'wardrobe malfunction' he suffered, after fans got to hear his song Dizzy performed live in Malmö, Sweden ahead of Saturday's final.

'The dancing is a bit naughty and the team is fantastic. It's like the Olympics of music, it's a fun, chaotic circus.
He added: 'This whole thing has been wild, it was amazing last night. It was the first time performing it on live TV.
'There is so much support from the other contestants, it's been the experience of a lifetime. I feel so lucky and privileged to be doing it.'
