The BBC, the British national broadcaster, have revealed that Olly Alexander will guest star in Eastenders, ahead of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, in Malmo.

The residents of Albert Square are in for a treat this spring as multi-award winning singer and actor, Olly Alexander, arrives in Walford for a surprise visit. Having been rehearsing nearby, Olly makes a pit-stop at The Queen Victoria to reconnect with old friend Johnny Carter, and is given a hero welcome by Walford well-wishers ahead of his impending performance at the Eurovision song contest.

In true EastEnders style, Olly’s visit to the Square is not the only surprise of the night, as one Walford resident decides to pop the question having been buoyed up by the celebratory tone of the occasion, but the couple in question and the all-important answer is yet to be revealed…

Olly Alexander, the UK’s representative at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, had the following to say:

“I’m thrilled to be making my first appearance on EastEnders and in the most iconic pub in the UK. I’m 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 mum as it’s her favourite show but I guess the cat is out of the bag now, she’s gonna love it!”
