He's representing the UK at Eurovision 2024, Olly Alexander is in the studio with Rylan to get some top tips on the competition!
Olly will be flying the flag for the UK at the 68th Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden in May. He’s not only an award-winning singer and songwriter but also an actor, having starred in shows including ‘Skins’ and ‘It’s A Sin’. Olly’s been releasing music with his band ‘Years & Years’ since 2014, now going solo. He won the Â鶹ԼÅÄ â€˜Sound Of…’ poll in 2015 and has had number 1 albums and a chart-topping single in the UK!
A life-long Eurovision fan, Rylan has worked on the competition since Lisbon 2018. He was in Liverpool for the competition this year, commentating on the semi-finals for Â鶹ԼÅÄ One and the grand final live on Radio 2 alongside his Eurovision husband Scott Mills. Who better to give Olly some advice as he begins his Euro-journey?
Rylan's also keeping the Birthday Game spinning! The birthday wheel has picked three former number ones from today's date, but spin past the first two and someone's stuck with the final track.
If you've got a birthday, then you can play - just email scott.mills@bbc.co.uk and you could be the proud recipient of a balloon featuring Scott's face.
