The frontman of a Rolling Stones tribute act, The Rollin' Clones, will represent the UK in the  Eurovision Song Contest 2015, which takes place in May. Check out the band in action below. 

Alex Larke, the 35-year-old Jagger impersonator, will perform alongside Bianca Nicholas as part of the new double-act, Electro Velvet. The duo will perform the track 'Still in Love With You' - decribed as an "up tempo electro-swing track". 

Larke told the BBC, "I feel incredibly privileged and humbled to be representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, for this massively historic 60th anniversary event".

Fans of the Clones have been reassured that Larke's Eurovision commitments won't mark the end of the tribute act.

The contest hasn't seen a win from the UK since 1997's 'Love Shine a Light' by Katrina and the Waves - can Electro Velvet pull it out of the bag this time around?

The 60th Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Vienna on 23 May.
