Panti Bliss ALSO wants to make an appearance on Eurovision this year

While we got wind that Nicky Byrne is heading to Stolkholm in May and chatted to him about the song, it seems that Ireland's favourite drag queen also wants to be involved in the Eurovision this year.

Panti Bliss took to Twitter to nominate herself to take on Nicky's former role in the contest. 

The Westlife singer was responsible for presenting Ireland's voting results live during the final last year. 

Now that @NickyByrne is singing for Ireland, I can't imagine who @rte might get to do the Irish results instead… pic.twitter.com/qB1JSZg5Gq

And because Nicky will actually be IN the show this year, Panti would like to give it a whirl. 

"Now that Nicky Byrne is singing for Ireland, I can't imagine who RTE might get to do the Irish results instead…," said the queen on social media. 

While the role usually goes to an RTE presenter, we HOPE the national broadcaster gives Panti a go. 

Not only do we reckon she would SLAY it, but we know Eurovision appreciates a talented drag artist (sure, Conchita Wurst won the whole thing in 2014). 

I'm sure you could fill my shoes, although they might be a bit flat for you. https://t.co/cbbt7wW7us

AND it looks like Nicky reckons she could pull off the gig no problem. 

"I’m sure you could fill my shoes, although they might be a bit flat for you," he wrote.
