Footage shows BAFTA actor and singer Olly Alexander preparing for the Eurovision Song Contest. Olly is seen practising his routine ahead of the event.
Eurovision fans have blasted this year's song contest for being too 'provocative' and 'raunchy', claiming that the prestigious show is now pandering to Gen Z audiences with flashy 'X Factor' style semi-finals.
Some Eurovision fans tuning into the semi-finals have been left aghast by the adult content on display in the build up to the event and criticised organisers and performers for not reading the room. The routine, which is guaranteed to be in Saturday's final, sees the singer don a distressed vest and red trousers and a colour-coordinated jock strap over the top.
