(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Double failure: The singer who conquered the UK has turned into a massive flop, with both the audience and the industry turning their backs on him. What happened to Olly Alexander?

What no one knew at that moment was that, although this was the day of the Eurovision Grand Final, it would in fact become the night when Joost Klein would be disqualified — sparking one of the most explosive scandals in the contest’s history.
