Former Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher swapped the Dales for Jailhouse Rock as he channelled Elvis Presley on Strictly Come Dancing.

Kelvin, from Oldham, had fans swooning as he displayed his 'snake hips' moves to Jailhouse Rock with his dance partner Oti Mabuse.

Kelvin's proud nan was in the audience as he appeared with quiffed hair to rock the dancefloor at the iconic Blackpool Tower.

Fans pointed out that he resembled both Elvis and John Travolta in his heartthrob role as Danny Zuko in Grease with his energetic jive on the BBC dance show .

"The love child of Elvis and John Travolta... More of that please!! If I was able to dance with anyone, it would be him... Jeeeeeez" swooned one fan on Twitter.

"Can’t get enough of Kelvin dressed as Elvis on strictly, wow," said another.

"Actual snakehips," wrote another.

"Oh hello Kelvin! Can’t go wrong with Elvis," praised a fourth viewer.

"You really did just make Blackpool rock," host Tess Daly told him.

"He made my life not just my day, what was that?" said judge Motsi Mabuse, Oti's sister.

And Shirley Ballas enthused: "I'm speechless. I don't know where to start."

Kelvin and Oti scooped 39 points from the judge for their King of a performance.
