2024: Graham Meets Olly

Olly Alexander is preparing to fulfil one of his biggest life ambitions - to represent the United Kingdom in the much-loved Eurovision Song Contest. Ahead of the grand final in May, Olly joins fellow Eurovision lover and commentator Graham Norton to talk candidly about competing in Sweden. As an extra treat for Eurovision fans, Olly reveals the first full play of the music video on TV for his Eurovision song Dizzy.\n\nA Brit and Bafta award nominee, Olly is the United Kingdom’s most high-profile Eurovision act in many years. Brimming with excitement, he talks passionately to Graham about his genuine love of Eurovision, his fond memories of the annual singing contest and how it feels to represent the United Kingdom on a global stage.\n\nThe clock is ticking, and with just two months to go before Olly heads to Malmö, Sweden, where this year’s contest will take place, he is in competition mode. He and Graham, both self-confessed Eurovision obsessives, analyse the competition and run through the other countries’ acts Olly will be up against. \n\nAs Eurovision gets ever closer, this special reveals the excitement and pressure felt by Olly Alexander, the artist representing the United Kingdom in Sweden on the 50th anniversary of Abba’s victory in Brighton in 1974.
