X Factor star Rylan Clark has admitted that he would "happily" represent the UK in next year's Eurovision Song Contest.
The singer hopes to follow in the footsteps of previous X Factor acts Jedward and Andy Abraham to participate in the competition, which will take place next May.
"If the country wanted me to represent them [at Eurovision] then I'd happily fly the flag," Clark told Metro.
Bookmakers William Hill are currently offering odds of 16/1 for Clark to be selected to enter Eurovision.
"Rylan has really turned the public opinion of him since the live shows started," spokesperson Mark Young said."A number one record may not be far off and we are hearing chat that a Eurovision stint is a possibility."
The 58th annual Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Malmö, Sweden on May 18, 2013, following Loreen's win in Azerbaijan earlier this year.
