Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander is reportedly 'in advanced talks' to represent the UK at next year's Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden.

The singer, 33, is said to be a huge fan of the competition and 'desperate' to be Britain's offical 2024 entry.

BBC bosses are no doubt hoping to turn the UK's fortunes after Mae Muller failed to impress audiences earlier this year at the contest in Liverpool where she finished second from last. 

According to The Sun Olly has pitched a catchy song penned by Dua Lipa and her producer Danny L Harle, the mastermind behind her latest hit Houdini. 

With a source telling the publication:  'It's a dream come true for Olly. Things aren't quite locked in but he is a favourite with bosses.
