Another fan wrote: ‘This is SOOOO @eurovision @alexander_olly and you are so flipping HOT… you’re going to win boy. Bring it home for mumma.’

Eurovision is taking place in May following Swedish singer Loreen securing victory at last year’s show in Liverpool, which brought Sweden’s total wins to seven, tying the country with Ireland.
In May 2023, the UK came second last with London singer Mae Muller after it took on hosting the ceremony after Ukraine was unable due to the conflict.
This year Olly will be the British entrant, with hopes high after the glimpse at the song was revealed.
The Eurovision Song Contest will have 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 back in December Olly’s fans thought they’d worked out the name of the singer’s Eurovision song after he was revealed as the 2024 UK entry.

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, while stood against the backdrop of a scene which included 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 am the UK entry for Eurovision.
‘I can’t believe it, I’m so so excited! This is a dream come true, I can’t wait and I’ll see you all in Sweden next year.’
After the clip dropped, eagle-eyed fans got to work on guessing what all of the clues in the video meant and concluded that it could be the name of the track.
One person on Twitter gathered all of the ‘easter eggs’ and shared his thoughts online, as many declared him a ‘genius’ for working it out.
They wrote: ‘The Olly Alexander video features the number 4, 26, 26 and 25. The correlating letters are D Z Z Y. The big hand of the clock is a 1. The [dizzy] emoji is on the phone box. The UK’s entry is called Dizzy.’
Many applauded the person’s efforts, but one person pointed out their own theory, which they claimed made more sense.
They wrote: ‘Also there’s 9 [dizzy] emojis. 9 + I which makes more sense than the big hand theory. I think you’re onto something here!’
Another said: ‘Clock is 5 past 4. Could that be the release date? 5 days past (4) April – 5th April? It’s a Friday, which is typically when new music is released.’
Congratulating the detective work, one person said: ‘First Girls Aloud, now this… you’re a pop culture Poirot.’
The user – whose name online is Shane Reaction – replied: ‘A pest to pop girlies and gays everywhere.’
Another person joked: ‘Have you ever considered a job at Her Majesty’s MI5.’
One other said: ‘If this is correct I’ll be extremely impressed wow.. MI6 should hire you!’
A different person said: ‘Dua did something very similar for Houdini so has potential to be true. Her management team are involved with Eurovision as well right?’
The UK could finally be set for another Eurovision win after Olly was announced as the nation’s performer.
The odds of the UK winning suddenly shortened to become the favourites for the first time in 27 years.
The United Kingdom have not won Eurovision since Katrina & The Waves performed Love Shine a Light in 1997.

Prior to that, the UK 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, who performed Boom Bang-a-Bang came first in a four-way joint tie with France, the Netherlands and Spain.
The UK’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 UK win if the odds are to be believed.
