SHAUN HAMILTON, a fish fryer and Elvis impersonator from the Blue Lagoon in Largs, will soon be showing off his singing skills to millions on primetime TV.

The stars were chosen following a rigorous audition process, called Chef Factor. The first stage was an online video entry, calling for takeaway staff who could entertain.
Fish fryer and manager Shaun Hamilton blew the judges away with his stellar performance of I’m All Shook Up by Elvis Presley which he sung – and danced – whilst shaking salt and vinegar on to chips.
Shaun will delight viewers by singing All Out of Love by Air Supply and Reef’s Place Your Hands.
Chatting about his new starring role, Shaun said the opportunity was a ‘dream come true.’
He said: “It’s my dream to be an Elvis impersonator full time, I even won a talent competition singing Elvis when I was 10 years old where I performed in front of 600 people.
Now I’m going to be on national telly, so it’s a dream come true.”
On picking which song to sing, he said: “I thought the tune fitted in nicely with my salt-and-vinegar-shaking-dancing-moves in the middle of my performance.”
