Years & Years frontman Olly Alexander just revealed what he really looks for in a man.
Appearing on The Graham Norton Show last night (15 June), Olly excitedly joined some of the stars of Ocean’s 8.
When he walks over to the couch after singing his new song If You’re Over Me, Olly excitedly hugs everyone.
He then says: ‘Sorry, they said I shouldn’t hug everyone but I had to.
‘This is – I can’t believe – goddesses, angels, magical queens… and I get to sit with them. I’m going to faint.’

But then Graham asks about Olly’s contribution to the latest Bridget Jones movie.
Olly explains: ‘So, Bridget Jones’ baby – which is the third Bridget Jones movie – they asked us to write a song for it. We were like, yes, great! It’s gonna be a big song in the movie and it’s gonna come out.
‘So I was just imagining that I’m Bridget and what do I really want?’
‘Like, a big dick, right?’
‘I just mean, just because, like, I can relate!’
They end up writing the song Meteorite and the band go to the premiere of the film. They sit through the whole film and realize their song is the one of the last songs in the credits of the film.
Olly Alexander: ‘I love you so much’
Graham Norton also asks Olly if he’s excited to meet any of the guests in particular. Olly looks straight at Rihanna and says: ‘It’s you!’
He continues: ‘I love you all but you’ve been such an inspiration to me and I love you so much. I dyed my hair red because of you. She’s the one.’
Rihanna responds proudly to her fellow co-stars: ‘Laters, all of you!’
She later tells Olly: ‘I love you!’
After the show, Olly posts a photo of the pair to Twitter with the most excited look on his face and Twitter is loving it.
He captioned the photo: ‘I will never be the same.’
