Englebert gets Hump with pants

EUROVISION hopeful Engelbert Humperdinck has urged lusty female fans not to throw their knickers at him during the live contest.

The 75-year-old is the surprise choice to represent Great Britain in the annual competition, this year held in Azerbaijan on May 26th.

And the veteran crooner is worried underwear-lobbers will ruin his performance.

He said: “I would be appalled if any female fans threw underwear.

“I hope not. I just want to be judged for my talent and the portrayal of the song.”

Please Release Me warbler Humperdinck – real name Arnold Dorsey – won armies of female admirers during his 1970s heyday.

He’ll sing new track Love Will Set You Free as the UK’S Eurovision entry.
