And Olly, 33, has already secured a place in the final at Malmo Arena as one the show’s ‘five big countries’.
But Eurovision lovers have hit out after seeing a glimpse of the It’s A Sin star’s performance of Dizzy on the BBC’s Eurovision social media page.
Some compared him to fellow pop star Sam Smith, famed for their shock-factor performances.
A first look sees Olly sporting a plastic jock strap over red combat trousers.
He’s accompanied by semi-naked dancers wearing boxing-style shorts and jock straps, thrusting and sticking out their tongues.
Olly’s performance was promised to be visually captivating.
A caption from the BBC said: “Come through @ollyalexanderr
“If this is just the rehearsal, just know we’re in for a SHOW.”
One person remarked: “Horrible. Family friendly? It looks like a pornographic movie…”
“As a gay guy this is way too over sexual tbh, this is something for OnlyFans not for Eurovision,” one more typed beneath a post from BBC Eurovision on Instagram.
A third irritated viewer commented beneath the clip: “If this is the definition of being gay, then I must be straight. Nevertheless Go Britain to win!”
Another said: “Love the song. Hate the unnecessary sexual gyrating all over the stage, very much Sam Smith vibes which is why I went off him too.”
However, others loved Olly for bringing gayness to the show.
One said: “When olly said gay for eurovision 2024 he meant it i love him.”
A second shared: “2024 might just be the gayest Eurovision so far and Olly came to make sure it is!!!”
One more said: “The staging! Olly for the win!”
Olly will perform his dance-infused track tonight in the semi-finals, following the initial acts who are set to compete, including Ireland’s Bambie Thug and Ukraine’s Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil.
Bookmakers Coral are currently saying the UK is 50-1 to win, with odds of 8-1 to finish last and 16-1 to score the dreaded nul points.
