Former Eurovision competitor Englebert Humperdinck has written an open letter to Bonnie Tyler, who will represent the UK this year at the contest, to wish her good luck in the competition.

The crooner, who came second to last during 2012's Eurovision Song Contest, posted a message directed at the 'Total Eclipse Of The Heart' songstress through his official Facebook page, in which he congratulated her for taking on the challenge:

"Dear Bonnie, I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you on being the one to represent our wonderful country. The Eurovision was such a great step in my career and with the grand support of the BBC and my beloved country behind me, the loss of winning had me stepping on a loose unforgiving stone on a pyramid to paradise... but paradise will always be there for someone else to triumph in fair judgment to pride our country (sic) once again. You can do it Bonnie!!"

Eurovision 2013 will take place later this spring (May 18) in Sweden and Tyler recently issued a statement on being chosen to represent Great Britain, which said: "I promise to give this everything that I've got for the UK!" she said in a statement. I am truly honoured and delighted to be able to represent my country at Eurovision, and especially with such a fabulous song."
