Bookies place Bonnie Tyler 40/1 to win Eurovision
Bookmaker Ladbrokes has ranked Bonnie Tyler as an outsider to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
She is currently placed with odds of 40/1 to win overall, and with odds of 2/1 to finish in the top ten.
Another boost for Bonnie Tyler at 2013 Eurovision?
Neath-born Bonnie Tyler is famous for hits including 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' and 'Holding Out For a Hero'.
She is known for her husky singing voice - the result of an operation to remove nodules from her throat in 1976, which could potentially have ended her career before it started.
Bonnie credits the surgery with helping develop her trademark vocals and later that year scored her first hit when her second single 'Lost In France' made the top 10.

Bonnie Tyler 'delighted' to perform at Eurovision
I am truly honoured and delighted to be able to represent my country at Eurovision, and especially with such a fabulous song. I promise to give this everything that I’ve got for the UK!
Will Bonnie Tyler avoid 'nil points' at Eurovision?
Neath singer Bonnie Tyler plans to perform a track called 'Believe in Me' at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden - but will the UK really believe in her with our dismal Eurovision history?
At last year's competition in Azerbaijan, crooner Engelbert Humperdinck narrowly avoided a 'nil points' finish with his ballad 'Love Will Set You Free' - scraping into last-but-once place.
Even popular boy band Blue didn't make the top 10 in 2011, with the not-so-aptly named anthemic number 'I Can'.
Liverpudlian act Jemini didn't even get off the starting blocks after their track 'Cry Baby' scored zero points in 2003.
In fact, the last time the UK won the Eurovision Song Contest was in Ireland in 1997, when Katrina and The Waves stormed to victory with 'Love Shine A Light'.

Denmark are the hot favourites to win the Eurovision Song contest tomorrow night - a victory which could trigger the biggest payout in the history of the show.
The Danish entry, Only Teardrops by Emmelie de Forest is 4/6 odds on favourite, with Norway's I Feed You My Love by Margaret Berger second favourite at 5/1 according to betting firm William Hill.
Rupert Adams, from William Hill, said: "Emmelie looks very hard to beat and she could spark the biggest payout in the Eurovision's long and distinguished history."
Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, who will represent the UK, is more fancied to come last at 8/1 than first where she is placed at 50/1.
Mr Adams said the public had seemingly given up on the Welsh singer's hopes of victory with hardly anyone willing to take a "patriotic punt" on the UK's chances.
However the 61-year-old, who is performing the track "Believe in Me", has still managed to make a big impression in the host city.
A Swedish restaurant treated Tyler to a rendition of her entry while she was dining with her team and BBC staff.
