Liverpool cult hero Ragnar Klavan will have a part to play during Eurovision.
Selected as Estonia's spokesperson to reveal which countries they have voted for, the 37-year-old will be appearing on the screens of the nation as the winner of the annual singing competition is decided.
This is not the first time the central defender has made a TV appearance, however, having participated on 'Dancing with the Stars' in his home country last year before going on to reach the final of the show.

His latest starring role ties in with his former club, with Liverpool of course selected as the host city for this year's Eurovision. Klavan's country have the opportunity to join Norway, Serbia, Portugal, Croatia, Switzerland, Israel, Moldova, Sweden, Czechia and Austria in the final of the singing competition when taking part in tonight's second semi-final. The final itself will be staged this Saturday from 8pm.
Still proud of his time spent on Merseyside, Klavan told the ECHO in March he had no doubts about joining the club back in 2016 after learning of transfer interest. "I didn’t think I would be a Liverpool player, he admitted. “I think it all happened because before Liverpool I was playing in the Bundesliga and Jurgen and his coaching staff had seen me for a few years.
“When I heard about the interest from Liverpool and then when the deal was done, it is a feeling that I cannot describe. It was really amazing. It’s a special club and there wasn’t any other thought in my head other than Liverpool. I think my first conversation with Jurgen was via phone. In the beginning, I thought somebody was prank-calling me. So he stopped the phone call and sent a selfie and then I believed him!”
