Mae Muller is hoping to scoop the crown tonight for the UK with her entry I Wrote A Song.
The 25-year-old has received a number of good luck video messages from famous faces ahead of her performance.
However, it seems Mae may need all the luck she can get as the bookies predict a heavy loss for the UK.
Mae's chances of winning have plummeted in recent hours from 40/1 to 60/1, says .
Odds are even at 50/1 for her to get 'nul points' after her predecessor Sam Ryder finished in second place last year.
