Andy Lulham , of Betfair , which organised the event ahead of Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest, said: "This year's Eurovision betting points to a case of Britain's Not Got Talent.

   "UK entry It's My Time, written by Lord Lloyd Webber and sung by Your Country Needs You winner Jade Ewen, is a 23-1 outsider, well behind the 9-5 favourites Norway."
