Olly Alexander bagged the UK the position of 18th in Eurovision on Saturday after receiving no public votes
GB News host Andrew Pierce has hit out at Olly Alexander for his "rent boy" performance at Eurovision. Speaking about the Years and Years singer's act, Andrew said that he was "embarrassed" by it.
Andrew said: "The Eurovision, according to figures out this morning, had its most disastrous night because viewing figures are down by 2.5 million." Speaking to Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, Andrew added: "That is because it was awful."
Vine added that even though "it was awful", the viewing figures could have been related to a "boycott" that came about as people took a stand against Israel's participation amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
She said: "The BBC had a drag queen on telling everyone that she was boycotting it.
"Someone called Crystal came onto Newsnight to say that she was boycotting her north London party because of Israel. So maybe that's the that's why the figures are down."
Andrew added: "They cancelled some Eurovision parties in gay bars in Soho as well."
Talking about Alexander's performance Andrew said: "He's performing in a codpiece. Gay sex in a public lavatory?
"Is this song doing so badly because he appears to be glorifying what used to be known as cottages, where men used to go to seek homosexual sex before it was legal?
Sarah Vine also asked, "Why were they all dressed as rent boys anyway?"
Andrew admitted that he found the whole thing "revolting" and "embarrassing".
