\n Catherine Curtis, 81, told staff at Colten Care\u2019s Whitecliffe House in Blandford that she would have loved to see Presley sing live.\n<\/p>\n
\n While they could not bring back the King, the home\u2019s companionship team invited professional impersonator Martin Fox to visit.\n<\/p>\n
\n Companionship team leader Sarah Vane said: \u201cMartin arrived with all the charm and flair of Elvis.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Before his performance, he took time to visit the residents and proudly showed them an authentic Elvis belt, a piece of memorabilia from one of the legend\u2019s real shows.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Residents clapped, sang along and enjoyed a costume change during the show.\n<\/p>\n
\n Catherine, who moved to Whitecliffe House in June 2025, said: \u201cThe show really made my day, seeing him sing in person. And I very much liked the cheeky kiss.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Home manager Emma Williams said: \u201cAfter a lively 45-minute first half, Martin took a short break.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt gave Catherine the chance to meet him in person, get a photo and even sneak a little kiss, much to her delight. The joy was infectious, with smiles around the entire room.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Performing hits from Presley\u2019s early years through to his Vegas era, Martin said: \u201cThere was lots of interaction and I think the residents enjoyed it. Catherine certainly did. She is such a fan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Catherine Curtis, 81, told staff at Colten Care\u2019s Whitecliffe House in Blandford that she would have loved to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":239283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-239282","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-music","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/239283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
