Sir Cliff Richard, has sparked a strong backlash against himself after being accused of 'fat shaming' the late great Elvis Presley, during an appearance on This Morning. The 83-year-old singer appeared on the show on Monday to promote his new book, A Head Full of Music, which highlights his lifelong career in the entertainment industry and his new album Cliff with Strings — My Kinda Life. However, the interview took an awkward tone when Richard was asked if he'd ever met Elvis. He explained that he hadn't but did have one chance to meet the 'King of Rock 'n' Roll' but turned it down due to the amount of weight Elvis had. put on in his later life. "I thought, if I'm having a photograph taken with him and it's gonna be hanging on my refrigerator, he's gotta look good," Richard said. "And I put it off, and of course then he died." "Should never have put it off just because they're a bit heavier," he added which prompted host Alison Hammond to say: "Is that why you don't want me at your house?" The surreal moment has since prompted an onslaught of memes mocking Richard for the odd comment. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell admitted his club had extra motivation following their “wholly disproportionate” points deduction. The Toffees were docked 10 points last week for breaching Premier League financial rules over a three-year period, plummeting them from 14th in the table into the relegation zone. They looked to be set for a comfortable season after a good run of form culminated in a 3-2 win at Crystal Palace before the international break. Thelwell said on the club’s official website: “The three points from that victory may no longer be accounted for in the table – nor seven other hard-earned points amassed during this season. “But what does remain in place is the unity, focus and determination that helped earn those points on the field of play – now supplemented by the additional fuel of what we believe is a wholly-disproportionate ruling. “We are rallying in the face of a sporting sanction in the only way we can and that is our focus and hard work in supporting the team in delivering to their fullest on the pitch. We know that every Evertonian is behind us. We feel the strength of support and we will continue to use that backing to drive us on Kevin Thelwell “Everton is a special football club. It is a special football club because of its people – our players, staff and fans.” Everton have already indicated their intention to appeal against the commission’s sanction, with the appeal expected to be heard during the course of the current season. Thelwell said the club would remain “united” in their fight against the punishment. “We go into this weekend having secured six wins from our last nine outings in all competitions,” he added. “The team has displayed a level of effort, camaraderie and bravery that is synonymous with this club in earning those victories. “That spirit remains strong – unwavering. (Manager) Sean (Dyche) and the players are fully focused on the work that lies ahead and everybody at Finch Farm is united. “We know that every Evertonian is behind us. That is never taken for granted, but always hugely appreciated and valued. “We feel the strength of support and we will continue to use that backing to drive us on.” Read More What happens next for Wales as they look to book a place at Euro 2024?
