Olly Alexander CONFIRMS he's representing the UK at Eurovision Song Contest

Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander has confirmed he will represent the UK at next year's Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden.

The singer, 33, made the announcement during Saturday's live Strictly final.

The star is said to be a huge fan of the competition and 'desperate' to be Britain's offical 2024 entry.

BBC bosses are no doubt hoping to turn the UK's fortunes after Mae Muller failed to impress audiences earlier this year at the contest in Liverpool where she finished second from last.

According to The Sun Olly has pitched a catchy song penned by producer Danny L Harle, the mastermind behind Dua Lipa's latest hit Houdini.
