The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May after Swedish singer Loreen emerged victorious at last year’s show in Liverpool, bringing Sweden’s total number of victories to seven, tying the country with Ireland.
In May 2023, Britain came second to last with London singer Mae Muller after taking on the ceremony after Ukraine was unable to perform due to the conflict.
This year, Olly will be the British entrant, with expectations high after the glimpse of the song was revealed.
The Eurovision Song Contest has the first semi-final on May 7 and the second semi-final on May 9.
The grand final is on May 11.
It comes after Olly’s fans thought they had come up with the name of the singer’s Eurovision song in December after he was revealed as the UK’s entry for 2024.

The star took to Twitter to share a video after his place in the competition was announced during the Strictly Come Dancing final.
Olly confirmed the news on his page, standing against the backdrop of a scene featuring Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, a red telephone box and a bus.
In the video he said: ‘Hello Europe and Australia! This is Olly Alexander calling. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I’m the British entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.
‘I can’t believe it, I’m so excited! This is a dream come true. I can’t wait to see you all in Sweden next year.’
After the clip dropped, eagle-eyed fans set out to guess what all the clues in the video meant and came to the conclusion that it could be the name of the song.
One person on Twitter collected all the ‘Easter eggs’ and shared his thoughts online, as many called him a ‘genius’ for working this out.
They wrote: ‘In Olly Alexander’s video there are the numbers 4, 26, 26 and 25. The corresponding letters are DZZ Y. The big hand of the clock is a 1. The (dizzy) emoji is on the telephone booth. The British entry is called Dizzy.’
Many applauded the person’s efforts, but one person pointed to his own theory, which he said made more sense.
They wrote: ‘Also there are 9 (dizzy) emojis. 9 + I, which makes more sense than the big hand theory. I think you’re onto something here!’
Another said: ‘The clock is 5 past 4. Could that be the release date? 5 days last (4) April – 5 April? It’s a Friday, which is typically the day new music is released.”
Someone congratulated the detective work and said: ‘First Girls Aloud, now this… you’re a pop culture Poirot.’
The user – whose online name is Shane Reaction – replied: ‘A plague on girls and gays everywhere.’
Another person joked: ‘Have you ever considered a job in Her Majesty’s MI5.’
Another said: ‘If this is true I will be extremely impressed. Wow… MI6 should hire you!’
Another person said: ‘Dua did something similar for Houdini so it may be true. Isn’t her management team also involved in the Eurovision Song Contest?’
The UK could finally be set for another Eurovision win after Olly was announced as the country’s top performer.
The odds of Britain winning suddenly diminished, becoming favorites for the first time in 27 years.
Great Britain has not won the Eurovision Song Contest since Katrina & The Waves performed Love Shine a Light in 1997.
This year, Olly will be the British entrant, with expectations high after the glimpse of the song was revealed
Before that, Britain stormed to victory in 1981 with Bucks Fizz’s Makin’ Your Mind Up, and in 1976 with Brotherhood of Man’s Save Your Kisses for Me.
In 1969, Lulu, performing Boom Bang-a-Bang, came first in a four-way joint performance with France, the Netherlands and Spain.
Britain’s first-ever Eurovision victory came 11 years after the annual competition launched with Sandie Shaw’s Puppet on a String in 1967.
Yet there is now potential for a sixth British victory if the odds are to be believed.
