The sprightly 70-year-old, known as the Unknown Superstar, was on ITV's It Shouldn't Happen On a TV Talent Show.

Watching the man from Hamlet Court Road was the general manager of the Erlsmere Hotel in Pemburey Road, Westcliff, James Crossley.

He said: "We work with Speed Dating UK and we're going to use him to lighten up an evening we've got planned for February 14."
