Olly Alexander made a worrying admission to fans and said: "I can't believe I'm sharing this." The Eurovision Song Contest hopeful revealed he still has some baby teeth, which will one day "fall out".

The 33-year-old, who will represent the nation in Malmo, Sweden, tonight (Saturday, May 11), opened up about his dental history on Twitter in 2019. He confessed: "Some of my teeth aren’t adult teeth 'cos my mouth just didn’t have them."

He added: "My baby teeth are strong, but one day they will fall out," finishing the sentence with a crying emoji. In a follow-up post he said: "I can’t believe I'm sharing this wtf."

One fan replied: "Really?? Wow I didn't know that was possible? You're like Peter Pan!!" Another said: "What? I had the same thing but now I got implants!"

Olly was all smiles during a recent interview with Lorraine Kelly, with the Scottish TV presenter telling him his song Dizzy was "a banger". The Mirror reports he told her the experience had been "wild" and said of his semi-final performance on Tuesday: " It was the first time performing in the arena and on TV. It was just... yeah, it was amazing. I had a slight wardrobe malfunction - my mic pack fell off - and had to improvise but that's fine - it's live TV, it happens."

Glastonbury: Coldplay joined by Michael J Fox on stage for history-making fifth headline set
Coldplay have become the first act in history to headline Glastonbury five times – playing a record-breaking set to a huge, sparkling audience for whom it felt like coming home. Thousands in the crowd will no doubt have seen them at least once here before, but no matter - they have their detractors, but you cannot argue with the fact Chris Martin's band can put on a headline performance worthy of Worthy Farm. Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis was among the special guests watching stage-side as they performed to a crowd stretching way back into the night, and they were also joined by stars and musicians including rapper Little Simz on stage.

What makes Queen the most valuable rock band of all time
When pharmaceutical giant Pfizer decided, for the first time, to spend tens of millions of dollars on an advert during this year’s Super Bowl, there was only one song that provided a fitting soundtrack: Queen’s Don’t Stop Me Now. Galileo, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein featured in the romp through the history of science and medicine. And to really ramp home the point, Copernicus popped up, singing “I’m a shooting star leaping through the sky”.
