The 2024 song contest will take place in Sweden next year, follow Loreen\u2019s win<\/a> this year with her song Tattoo.<\/p>\n
The song he will perform in Malm\u00f6 next May is still under wraps \u2013 but the BBC confirmed it was co-written by Alexander and Danny L Harle, who has produced hits for Dua Lipa, Chic and Charli XCX.<\/p>
Ollie was previously tipped to represent the UK<\/a>, with an insider revealing: \u201cIt\u2019s a dream come true for Olly. Things aren\u2019t quite locked in but he is a favourite with bosses. Despite everyone loving Mae, it\u2019s no secret that everyone was disappointed with how things panned out.\u201d<\/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.<\/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<\/p>
