Alexander also shared his excitement about getting to be the UK entry, describing it as ‘like a dream.’ He further promised to ‘be pulling out all the stops’ for his performance in Malmö, creating high expectations for his act.

Support from Past Entrants

The UK’s last two Eurovision entrants, Sam Ryder and Mae Muller, have offered their support to Alexander. He mentioned receiving ‘lovely messages’ from them and expressed eagerness to have a detailed discussion with both of them as part of the Eurovision ‘family.’
