Mae Muller is hoping to beat the odds and become the first UK winner of Eurovision since 1997.

The singer, 25, will perform I Wrote A Song at the final in Liverpool on Saturday, but is an outsider, according to the bookies. Betfair has the UK at 66/1 to win the contest, while Ladbrokes has Muller at 40/1 – the 10th most likely act to take the Eurovision crown.

After months of preparation, the 25-year-old singer from north London will finally perform her track, I Wrote A Song, for the international voting public. Twenty-six acts will perform at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool to an expected global audience of 160 million viewers, according to the BBC, after the UK agreed to host the contest on behalf of war-torn Ukraine.

Muller is hoping to continue the success of last year’s UK entry Sam Ryder, who finished second behind Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine. The singer gave a sneak peak at her performance earlier in the week during rehersals.

Austria will open the show with Teya and Salena’s quirky dance-pop tune Who The Hell Is Edgar?, about being possessed by the ghost of 19th century Gothic author Edgar Allan Poe. Muller will close the show with I Wrote A Song – a slot generally considered a disadvantage.

Mae Muller's grandfather escape from the Nazis

The Jewish Chronicle reports that in July 2020, Muller shared the story of how her grandfather fled to Britain as a refugee from Nazi Germany and decried antisemitism in the music industry. She posted on Instagram: "To all my Jewish friends and followers, I love you. There is no place for anti semitism in this world. I'm very proud of my Jewish roots and so should you.  My grandad fled from nazi Germany to the UK when he was 12 years old on his own.

"I always find myself trying to imagine how scared he must have been.  So f**k Wiley and f**k anyone who shares those views. I stand with all my Jewish friends, family, supporters and always will."
