Olly Alexander's fans think they have come up with the name of the singer's Eurovision song after he was revealed as the UK's 2024 entry.
The Years & Years star, 33, took to Twitter to share a video after his place in the competition was announced during the Strictly Come Dancing final.
Olly confirmed the news on his page, standing against the backdrop of a scene featuring Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, a red telephone box and a bus.
In the video he said: 'Hello Europe and Australia! This is Olly Alexander calling. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'm the British entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.
'I can't believe it, I'm so excited! This is a dream come true. I can't wait to see you all in Sweden next year.'

After the clip dropped, eagle-eyed fans set out to guess what all the clues in the video meant and came to the conclusion that it could be the name of the song.
One person on Twitter collected all the 'Easter eggs' and shared his thoughts online, as many called him a 'genius' for working this out.
They wrote: 'In Olly Alexander's video there are the numbers 4, 26, 26 and 25. The corresponding letters are DZZ Y. The big hand of the clock is a 1. The (dizzy) emoji is on the telephone booth. The British entry is called Dizzy.'
Many applauded the person's efforts, but one person pointed to his own theory, which he said made more sense.
They wrote: 'Also there are 9 (dizzy) emojis. 9 + I, which makes more sense than the big hand theory. I think you're onto something here!'
Another said: 'The clock is 5 past 4. Could that be the release date? 5 days last (4) April – 5 April? It's a Friday, which is typically the day new music is released.”
Someone congratulated the detective work and said: 'First Girls Aloud, now this… you're a pop culture Poirot.'
The user – whose online name is Shane Reaction – replied: 'A plague on girls and gays everywhere.'
Another person joked: 'Have you ever considered a job in Her Majesty's MI5.'
Another said: 'If this is true I will be extremely impressed. Wow… MI6 should hire you!'
Another person said: 'Dua did something similar for Houdini so it may be true. Her management team is also involved in the Eurovision Song Contest, right?

The UK could finally be set for another Eurovision win after Olly was announced as the country's top performer.
The odds of Britain winning suddenly diminished, becoming favorites for the first time in 27 years.
Great Britain has not won the Eurovision Song Contest since Katrina & The Waves performed Love Shine a Light in 1997.
Before that, Britain stormed to victory in 1981 with Bucks Fizz's Makin' Your Mind Up, and in 1976 with Brotherhood of Man's Save Your Kisses for Me.
In 1969, Lulu, performing Boom Bang-a-Bang, came first in a four-way joint performance with France, the Netherlands and Spain.
Britain's first-ever Eurovision victory came 11 years after the annual competition launched with Sandie Shaw's Puppet on a String in 1967.
Yet there is now potential for a sixth British victory if the odds are to be believed.
A spokesperson for KingCasinoBonus.uk said this Subway: 'The United Kingdom have become the favorites to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 after announcing that Olly Alexander (as their representative)'
'Punters rushed to back Britain to win Eurovision after the news and the odds on Britain winning were cut to 6/1. Sweden, Israel and Ukraine are the joint 7/1 second favourites, followed by 8/1 shots Italy and Norway at 10/1.'
'Popular Olly Alexander may think it would be a shame if he doesn't do better than Mae Muller's disappointing 25th place last year – Britain will be able to quietly rest assured that their years without a Eurovision win are over.'
Eurovision fans were quick to respond on
Another fan drew a similar conclusion when sharing their thoughts on X
Olly will be hoping to turn around Britain's fortunes after Mae Muller, who competed in 2023, failed to impress the crowd at this year's Liverpool competition, where she finished second.
Mae was chosen to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest by global management company TaP Music, who also chose 2022 entrant Sam Ryder, who finished second.
Doubts about the singer had been growing before the final, with her voice criticized for not being strong enough to carry the song she was performing, I Wrote A Song. Her rehearsal was littered with errors and affected by sound problems.
A series of old quotes in which she suggested she hated Britain alienated some.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was held in Britain after last year's winners, Ukraine, were unable to host it in their home country due to the war with Russia.
The 2024 ceremony will take place in Malmö, Sweden, following the country's victory this year with Loreen's song Tattoo.
