However, Alexander honestly shared what had gone on with his microphone with viewers. He added: "I had a slight wardrobe malfunction. My mic pack fell off so I had to improvise! It was fine. That's live TV, it happens."

TV host Lorraine Kelly, who revealed she was a big fan, was quick to share her reassurance with the singer. "I think you did so, so well with that," she said.

The TV presenter insisted not everyone would have picked up on the small mistake, although she admitted that she had seen it happen in the semi-final. On the plus side, she shared she was impressed with how the singer managed the wardrobe malfunction.

She further explained: "I noticed it but I think a lot of people wouldn't have noticed the microphone pack just came away. You're having to... It wasn't in the script. Well done on that!"

Others added: "Olly Alexander delivered a ridiculously assured and confident performance which remains true to him as an artist. He did incredibly well to deal with his mic pack falling off. Bravo."
