Jerry is king for a song

Chat show host Jerry Springer will get audiences all shook up when he appears on Celebrity Stars In Their Eyes as Elvis Presley

Springer has always been a huge fan of The King and jumped at the chance to impersonate his hero.

For his appearance he wears a £10,000 rhinestone jumpsuit -- the most expensive costume ever designed for the ITV show.

And with a dark wig and shades, he is virtually unrecognisable as his usual self.

Springer will croon I Can't Help Falling In Love on the April 2 show.

He said: "Elvis is one of my favourites. I'm from that generation where as a kid we all started combing our hair back like him. I've only ever sung in the shower or performed for friends so this will be the first time I will have sung in public.

"The make-up for Stars In Their Eyes is fantastic and I've got a ton on. My eyebrows have been made pitch black and it's had the most startling effect. Though it does seem rather a waste as I'm wearing sunglasses on the show!

"I love the costume and it's amazingly heavy. I guess they've done this deliberately so I don't run away with it."

And he added: "I'm looking forward to performing but I don't expect that I'll get a record contract out of it!"

Model Nell McAndrew also appears on the show as Kim Wilde.

She said: "I feel sick at the thought of performing. My stomach can't take the nerves.

"Quite a few people have commented that I look like Kim Wilde, which I find very flattering. I'm looking forward to getting into the outfit. I'm hoping to hide behind the big hair and baggy jacket as I'm so nervous."

The show, hosted by Cat Deeley, will also feature Jade Goody's ex Jeff Brazier as UB40's Ali Campbell, Bad Girls star Victoria Bush as Sixties singer Mama Cass and The Bill's Vickie Gates as Maria McKee.
