Olly Alexander

I'm not sure it will.

Well, I've just discovered I'm also in one called Oh No Olly Alexander.

Oh, dear.

What's happening in that one? Well, an actor and musician I've got a lot of time for, Olly Alexander.

Always done fine work.

But on a show I used to host, we tried to give him a makeover and it went disastrously wrong.

So the WhatsApp group, which hasn't been active since 2017, is

called Oh No, Olly Alexander.

Like you're, you like, and many others when they're in their big body, know and again that's what i had to again going back to when i was in my younger self i thought the same thing if i'm skinny then the world will love me and the talents that i have and it's like you're still talented regardless what size you are right of course but then it's like

you know the thing is you you say that right i obviously say that i lost a bunch of weight but even at my thinnest you know i was on billboard being described as plus size and all this stuff right you know next to you know my counterparts you know like Oli Alexander and Troye Sivan, you know, who are built the way they're built.

And, you know, no shade.

We love everybody the most.

So that, Partied Until the Morning.

And what else did I do? Olly Alexander threw a dinner.

Another name drop.

Name drop.

oh god rest his soul they head into

a wardrobe and the bomb goes off and you see them inside going from side to side as the wardrobe is flapping around and it just reminded me of that scene when Olly Alexander was in that kind of room flapping from side to side because it was all kind of it might be a Doctor Who I don't know if anyone else got that reference what

Croatia 2002 song

no Olly Alexander's song

oh Olly Alexander oh sorry yes Because that's kind of, they're all at weird angles.

You've got

this scene where you've got the, I watched it on the flight to Canada because I was trying to get my mind off the fact that I was 336,000 feet in the air.

So nice that I'm finally getting to do it.

Following in the footsteps of Olly Alexander, of all people.

Oh, in Penny

Dreadful.

This one, it's like a kind of, it looks like Kurt Weill.

Just like little round glasses and a little hat.

But Olly Alexander is a kind of...

version of

Brought you one from Emily, who I know was listening to us in the hospital, so hopefully you're getting better, Emily.

Uh, a reminder, she said, uh, she had previously been at the hairdresser's where she'd heard Dizzy by Olly Alexander and then Europapa.

Um, well, uh, thank you very much to Jack.

Uh, Jack's email came in a couple of weeks ago as well, but I've, I've been, been waiting to bring this to you.

Yes.

Starring Olly Alexander as the lead, and it took place against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s.

Uh, it seemed you'd spent a lot of your career, it seemed to me, writing about joyous things, and now you were tackling the big, sad thing.

The thing that I, as that eighteen-year-old in Morecambe, associated with gay people.

Uh, she said, "I've got some Eurovision in the Wild submissions." Now, again, new listeners, Eurovision in the Wild, this is where you have heard a Eurovision song out and about in a really unusual place, and you thought you'd get in touch and tell us about it because we'd love you to.

Uh, Emily said, "I was at the hairdressers where I heard Dizzy by Olly Alexander, and then surprisingly Europapa by Joost Klein, which I wasn't expecting.

I was hoping for a 2024 mega mix, but sadly didn't hear anything else after that.

Keep up the good work." Uh, thanks Emily.
