Scots cabbie who rose to fame on Eurovision after spotting UFO over the M8

With the 68th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest final set to take place in Sweden this weekend, North Yorkshire born singer Olly Alexander is getting ready to represent Great Britain in the competition with his single 'Dizzy'.

The Glasgow Cabbie claimed to have witnessed an extra-terrestrial experience in his hometown that had inspired him to write the song 'Only The Light' which was what he sang in Eurovision. "I thought I had to report this to authorities. I did and the next day the same thing had been seen over parts of Wales. I knew it wasn’t just me. This was something not of this earth."

However, it wasn't meant to be as he failed to charm Europe and Rikki came in at 13th place, earning just 47 points for the UK, which was a record breaking low for a British Eurovision hopeful.
