Read on for all the latest rumours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Olly Alexander is reportedly in talks to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>The Sun<\/a>, the Years & Years frontman has pitched a track by Dua Lipa\u2019s producer Danny L Harle, who is the mastermind behind her latest hit Houdini.<\/span><\/p>\n An insider told<\/span> the publication: \u201cIt\u2019s a dream come true for Olly. Things aren\u2019t quite locked in but he is a favourite with bosses.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDespite everyone loving Mae, it\u2019s no secret that everyone was disappointed with how things panned out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The source continued: \u201cOlly has said for ages he wants to have a crack at it \u2014 and after teaming up with Danny for the song, he thinks we have a great shot.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe is aware people say that no established act in their right mind would go on the show due to the UK\u2019s track record, but as far as he is concerned that\u2019s just \u00adsnobbery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Shortly after Eurovision 2023, there had been reports the BBC were eyeing up Sophie Ellis-Bextor to represent the UK in next year\u2019s competition.<\/span><\/p>\n The British pop star rose to fame in the \u201990s as the lead singer of the band Theaudience, before succeeding as a solo artist in the \u201900s with hits including Murder on the Dancefloor.<\/span><\/p>\n Responding to rumours that she could represent the UK in 2024, she said back in June that it would be \u201ca massive gamble\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI saw that too,\u201d she told <\/span>The Independent<\/span><\/a>, \u201cbut no one\u2019s actually had a chat with me about it!
