However, viewers quickly noticed that the sound quality wasn't up to standard, with some speculating that it was deliberate.

At one point Olly was seen touching his earpiece.

"Great staging, but terrible sound production. #Eurovision #UK" one wrote.

"Hmm why is the sound different for #ollyalexander #uk ??? #Eurovision2024 #eurovision," added another.

"What is wrong with the sound suddenly #EUROVISION sabotage" a third chimed.

Despite the technical issues, audiences were blown away by Olly's set.

Commentator Graham Norton said that it was one of the best stage set ups that the UK had ever had.

This isn't the first time Olly had issues with sound during one of his Eurovision performances.

"Eurovision update! Semi-final one was last night. I performed, it was good. My mic pack fell out halfway through the performance so I had to catch it and it just kind of threw me off," he said.

"I was just worried. There were elements of the routine that I couldn't really do as well as I would have liked.

"I was quite stressed that my pack was going to just fall of entirely and that my in-ears were going to... anyway. It doesn't matter," he said shaking his head.

"That is the thrill of live music, live television, anything can happen," he grinned.
