He continued: "I've waited my whole life to do this and I can't believe that it's finally happening. I'm so excited for everything, the backdrop; is it going to be the London skyline? Is it gonna be the dome? A picture of me? I don't know! It could be anything but I'm so excited to be doing it." Fans were quick to congratulate him, with one writing: "Rylan really deserves this, he is without doubt the best UK celeb ambassador for ESC with his incredible passionate knowledge and made a staggering debut as commentator in last year's semifinals, I've always admired Rylan Clark since X Factor 2012, love seeing him on any TV show!"
