BAMBIE Thug has opened up about their “million thousand ideas” for their staging at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

The non-binary Cork artist will fly the flag for Ireland in the first semi-final in Malmo, Sweden, with their song Doomsday Blue.

Bambie told their followers on social media: “It is more about whittling it down and figuring it out what we can do with the budget that we are going to get and which of the million thousand ideas we have that we want to run with so it is exciting.

“Its really exciting. I’m really grateful to be able to put my vision on a bigger stage finally.”

But they admitted they were feeling “excited, overwhelme­d and full of love” with the media attention.

The singer said they don’t care where they perform in the first semifinal on May 7, saying they will “shine through”.

Bambie added: “I’m not sure but I think it doesn’t matter where I am anyway because I’m going to shine through regardless.

“I would love to either open or close because I think it would just slay.”

Bambie also revealed they fancied one Westlife lads as a child.

They added: “As a kid I was obsessed with Shane from Westlife. He was my first crush. And Britney Spears.”

Bambie added that they “don’t care” what people will think of them.

They said: “No I don’t care.

“If I cared, I would be acting a different way and not being authentic to myself. Let people have their opinion and their taste.

“That is fine. I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but I’m going to somebody’s favourite builders’ tea with extra sugar.”
