Eurovision hopeful Olly Alexander has been taught how to impersonate a seagull, by a boy who went viral for his uncanny impression of the bird.

Nine-year-old Cooper – also known as “Seagull Boy” – won a European championship in Belgium with his impersonation of the animal.

The pair met after they both made an appearance on the BBC Breakfast sofa on Wednesday, with Cooper saying he thought Alexander’s impression of the bird was “pretty good”.
