That’s why last year’s runner-up Eleni Foureira met Verka Serduchka, who had a same Eurovision fortune in 2007!

It has already been unveiled that both acclaimed artists will be flying to Tel Aviv, in order to appear as interval act during the Grand Final! However, they decided not to limit their rehearsals to the contest’s stage.

As reported a few weeks back, Eleni Foureira is set to perform Verka Serduchka‘s Eurovision entry, while the latter will be singing last year’s winning song, Toy by Netta. Thus, could there be a better coach for Eleni than Verka herself? Absolutely not!

The two Eurovision icons had a special meeting, where they enjoyed dancing to the rhythm of Dancing lasha tumbai! Obviously excited, Eleni posted the following video on Instagram, where she commented:
