Glen Vella,  Malta's representative in the Eurovision Song Contest, is getting ready for two dress rehearsals today, giving him the chance to sharpen his act ahead of tomorrow’s big day when he competes in the first semi-final.

But the chances of making it through to Saturday’s final are very slim, according to international bookmakers.

The odds are stacked against Glen and most bookmakers including William Hill,  Paddy Power and Bet 365 are placing him towards the bottom positions.

Glen will sing One Life in 11th position this afternoon, as he will in the semi-final tomorrow.

A second full run-through will be repeated at 9 p.m. tonight and again tomorrow at 3 p.m. complete with voting rehearsals.
