Blue Peter honour for champion Little Elvis

Sylvain Saint Simon, who, under his alternative ego Little Elvis Sylvain recently came top in the novice section of a Europe-wide Elvis tribute act competition, was talent-spotted by the BBC.

The seven-year-old was followed by the Blue Peter team’s camera crew at home and performing at an Elvis event in Bridlington – and he got his four minutes of fame on the popular television show.

Speaking afterwards, he said: “It was loads of fun. It was really exciting to see myself on the telly, but also funny because you always think your voice is deeper than it actually is. I would definitely like to be on TV again.”
