Olly, 33, will represent the UK at the annual singing competition in May, which will take place in Stockholm, Sweden this year.

Earlier this week, the singer teamed up with Carol, 61 on BBC Breakfast to give fans a teaser of what's to come.

Carol conducted her weather report as usual, looking stunning in a figure hugging red dress.

She said: "So in essence, it's going to be cold in the North but much milder in the South.

"But someone who's got a lot more detail is my brand new trainee, and that is the gorgeous Olly Alexander, take it away Olly."

She then stepped off camera and Olly appeared in a funky pink jumper and trousers.

He said: "Thank you Carol, hello viewers! It has indeed been quite a mild weekend for most of the UK with a lot of stillness in the air.

"But don't get too comfortable just yet, it appears there is a rare phenomena of dizzy spells running towards our dear island."

As he spoke, music could be heard in the background giving a tease of his track - Dizzy - while swirling shapes appeared across the map.

He continued: "And it looks like they are coming all the way from Sweden.

"From what we can see, there isn't an end to the dizzy spells for the foreseeable just yet, and no telling if they'll continue to go round and round or just eventually go back to the beginning.

"Of course, this won't be news to some of you eagle eyed viewers, as some of you have already warned us of the impending dizzy spells ahead, but we haven't got the full picture just yet."

As he clicked the button in his hand, the map changed to feature four numbers dotted around the UK, 11, 1, 29 and 7.

Olly said: "So please pay close attention to the varying temperatures on the map behind me as they should act as a pre-warning of further spikes to come across the impending weeks."

He concluded: "In the meantime, I would like to stress that everyone please look after your beautiful gardens, pull each other close and brace for impact.

"This has been Olly Alexander with your local weather report. Kisses".

He then blew a kiss to the camera and signed off his one-of-a-kind weather report.

Eurovision fans were quick to try and work out the clues Olly had dropped during the report, particularly the numbers.

One wrote on social media: "My guess... 11th of May Eurovision Final, 1st March video release, 29th February song release, 7th of April London Eurovision Party."

Another added: "Announced on the 7th of February, maybe a teaser clip on the 11th and then the full song on the 29th of February which on a normal year would be the 1st of March! I’m called it."

Meanwhile others were loving his appearance with Carol, with one writing: "Omg!!! You’re a natural at this Olly!!! We need you and Carol to brighten up the weather and chase away the clouds every day!"

A fellow fan commented: "So exciting, you would have made a great weatherman Olly, yet another talent to add to the list. Really looking forward to this, SO exciting. Loving the hair."

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One. Eurovision 2024 will begin on May 7, with the final on May 11.
