Olly Alexander has addressed his “wardrobe malfunction” at the first semi-final for the Eurovision Song Contest.

The former Years & Years singer performed his track ‘Dizzy’ with a troupe of backing dancers at the televised event on Tuesday (7 May 2024) following weeks of controversy around his participation.

During the performance, the star’s microphone fell off, leading to Alexander having to “improvise” his routine. The 33-year-old automatically qualifies regardless, as the UK is a member of the ‘Big Five’ contributing countries.

The ‘Big Five’ are France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom – countries who via their broadcasters make the biggest financial contribution towards the organisation of the Contest.
