Music legend Engelbert Humperdinck and UK Eurovision Representative in 2012 has caught the X-Factor bug.

He is the latest celebrity to show his support for X-Factor singer Sam Bailey. “The Hump” phoned the X Factor hopeful to pass on his support this week.

He said that he told her she had a “great and fantastic voice”.

As the show is coming to the final in the coming weeks, will this support for Sam Bailey be a kiss of death or the kiss of life for her.

Would Sam Bailey be a good choice for the UK at Eurovision?
