Priscilla Presley shuts down Piers Morgan as he sings Elvis on Good Morning Britain
PRISCILLA PRESLEY playfully silenced a tuneful Piers Morgan today when he started singing Elvis classics on Good Morning Britain.
The 70-year-old, currently appearing in pantomime, discussed the late rock'n'roll icon's current chart success while appearing on the ITV morning show today.
Elvis's latest posthumous album, If I Can Dream, has spent six weeks at the top end of the UK charts, including a brief stint at Number One.
Piers asked Priscilla if he ever used to serenade her in the bath, to which she said: "No! No."
He added: "You never had a bath and Elvis sat on the edge saying, 'Love me tender, love me do…'"
Prescilla Presley tells Pierce Morgan to Shush
Oh come on Priscilla, it wasn't that bad!
She put a finger to her lips and whispered "shh" before bursting out laughing.
"Oh come on Priscilla, it wasn't that bad! I've waited all my life to do that to you," Piers replied.
The new Elvis album has had competition from Adele and One Direction in the charts, and Priscilla said: "Adele came in and took over [number one] but thats OK, she's a girl!"
Asked if the King would have been a fan of 1D, she mused: "Elvis thought there was room for everyone, he was such a generous artist.
"He truly thought there was room for everyone. If they were good! I think that he would have enjoyed it! Or them."
Asked what memory she would like to re-live with him, she singled out her wedding, explaining: "21 was the age and it wasn't a fanfare, it was very private. It wasn't like it is today.
"It was really a nice wedding and then we head our friends join us all in Memphis after that."
