You read that right, the residents of Albert Square are in for a treat as singer and this year\u2019s UK Eurovision entry Olly Alexander will be arriving in Walford for a surprise visit.<\/p>\n
After rehearsing nearby, Olly will make a pit-stop at The Queen Vic pub to reconnect with old friend Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) and is given a heroes welcome by Walford residents ahead of his performance on Eurovision.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to be making my first appearance on EastEnders and in the most iconic pub in the UK,\u201d Olly said of his guest appearance on the soap.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI\u2019m so happy I got to meet some true screen legends and spend time on set with the brilliant cast and crew. I wanted to surprise my mom as it\u2019s her favourite show, but I guess the cast is out of the bag now, she\u2019s gonna love it!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the couple in question and the answer is yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n
Executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: \u201cWhen we discovered that Olly Alexander was a huge fan of the show and an opportunity arose in one of our stories, it was the perfect moment for us to invite him to Albert Square to appear.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope the audience enjoy Olly\u2019s special guest-appearance as much as everyone at EastEnders enjoyed having him in Walford.\u201d<\/p>
Olly Alexander was confirmed as the UK\u2019s entry last year during a surprise appearance on Strictly Come Dancing.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, it was revealed the It\u2019s A Sin star would be performing the song Dizzy<\/a>, which he co-wrote with Danny L Harle.<\/p>\n Speaking of creating the song, Olly said: \u201cI was thinking about fun things that could make you dizzy and I remember saying \u2018dizzy from your kisses\u2019 so the song is about feeling such an intense swell of emotion for someone they totally turn your world upside down and inside out.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. <\/strong>Visit our dedicated <\/strong>EastEnders<\/strong><\/a> page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our <\/strong>Soaps<\/strong><\/a> coverage or visit our <\/strong>TV Guide<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Streaming Guide<\/strong><\/a> to find out what else is on.
