Molly Smitten-Downes 'loses voice' ahead of Eurovision 2014


27-year-old singer sipping on hot water and lemon in bid to get her vocal chords back in shape




UK Eurovision contender Molly Smitten-Downes could be forced to withdraw from the contest after losing her voice.


The singer was reportedly talking in a whisper while rehearsing for the show in Copenhagen and is sipping on hot water and honey.


It is thought mounting pressure ahead of the competition is taking its toll on the 27-year-old's vocal chords.


The Daily Star reported sources close to the star as confirming Molly was struggling with her voice and may have to withdraw.


Molly, who was born in Leicestershire, has been in the Danish capital rehearsing and doing media interviews all week.


At her Eurovision Song Contest 2014 grand final press conference on Friday, Molly said she wouldn't be having contact with anyone before her performance so she could 'get into the right space'.


She said: "I'm here to do a job. And I want to look back and be able to say I did OK. I'm not going to have done OK if I'm too busy dancing to everyone else's stuff.


"I'll probably try and have as little contact with people as I can."


Molly is currently fifth favourite to win, facing stiff competition from Sweden's Sanna Nielsen and Austria's Conchita Wurst.


*The grand final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest will air tonight, Saturday May 10, on BBC One at 8pm
