Pop star Delta Goodrem has dramatically increased Australia's odds of winning the Eurovision Song Contest, after a stunning performance of her power ballad, Eclipse, at the semi-final.

Australia joined the contest as a one-off wild card entry in 2015 but quickly became a permanent fixture.

Eurovision is phenomenally successful in the country, despite its distance from Europe, with more than a million people regularly tuning in to watch the show.

Traditionally the winner hosts the next contest, so what happens if Australia wins?
