If you want salt and vinegar all shook up with your fish and chips Danny Owen is your man.

He dresses as Elvis Presley to help out at The Chippy, in Shaw Road, Witham.

Mr Owen, of Rowan Way, Witham, has been a professional singer since leaving school at 15 and has taken his Elvis Presley Gospel tour around the UK.

He has appeared on television as a singer and an actor on many occasions, and appeared on Sunday Night Live as Elvis.

As an Elvis fan since the age of 15, he paid £3,500 for a Las Vegas outfit, made by Elvis's own personal designer.

Danny also does impressions of Tom Jones, Mick Jagger, Neil Diamond and Freddie Mercury and in 1996 was chosen from thousands of hopefuls to appear as Julio Iglesias on TV show Stars in their Eyes.

He said: "I've enjoyed helping out at the chippy and the customers absolutely love it."
