The contest - which takes place in Liverpool - will see Klavan return to television screens after a stint on the Estonian version of 'Dancing with the Stars' last year.

Klavan reached the final of the competition and admitted the show was a challenge he wanted to take on.

"When your career is ending and you have a lot more free time to take on different projects that was something that I wanted to try," he explained.

"It was really difficult coordination-wise, movement-wise. And I'm really happy that I took on that challenge and experienced different things in life. That's always been my character."

The 37-year-old still has fond memories of his time at Anfield and admits he is proud to have worked with such an array of talent.

"My first day when I arrived here was something special. This is something you will never forget in your life," Klavan recalled.

"To be part of this amazing team, to go and work with so many amazing players together and under Jurgen Klopp in those two years, with that kind of development what happened with Liverpool Football Club.

"To be part of it, to witness it, it was something that I remember like it was yesterday."

And now Liverpool fans can see their cult hero again on Saturday night from 8pm as the annual music contest kicks off from the Liverpool Arena.
