'He turns Blackpool into Las Vegas for Elvis video LEATHER-CLAD Robbie Williams brought traffic to a stop by strolling down Blackpool's Golden Mile dressed as Elvis. Thousands of fans turned out to see the superstar singer become the King as he filmed his new video.

And while Elvis had the lights of Las Vegas, Robbie had to make the most of Blackpool's Illuminations. The screaming crowds also laid siege to venues where the 31-year-old was filming. A delighted Robbie said: " It's amazing the amount of people who have come down to say hello. It's made my night." I haven't seen anything like this since my days with Take That. I feel loved." Robbie filmed scenes on the prom, outside the Lucky Star arcade, on a red London bus and inside the Belle Vue pub.
