Olly Alexander takes to the stage for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend for his first performance since his Eurovision zero points disappointment as Coldplay headline the music festival


The Years And Years star, 33, represented the UK at the music competition in Malmö, Sweden with his raunchy track Dizzy on May 11.

After the UK's zero points public vote came to light, a slew of Brits took to Twitter to share their heartbreak as they insisted that the star 'deserved better' - in what some deemed a career-ruining moment for the singer and actor. An email sent from the organisers of the show on Friday read: 'Please note that the big five and Sweden media conference originally scheduled for 18.30 (5.30pm BST) has been cancelled because all artists want to focus on rehearsals.' The cancellation of the media conference was yet another twist and turn in the most chaotic and political Eurovision in the competition's history, which also saw the Dutch act pulled and the Israeli entry picketed.
