Cliff Richard says he didn\u2019t meet Elvis due to his weight<\/h3>\n

Uproar from This Morning viewers has continued after Sir Cliff Richard was accused of “fat-shaming” Elvis Presley on the ITV show.<\/p>\n

The singer sat down with Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, and Sarah Ferguson to chat about his successful career and to celebrate 65 years in the music industry.<\/p>\n

However, things took an unexpected turn in the chat when Sir Cliff admitted he once refused to have a picture taken with Elvis because he was “overweight”.<\/p>\n

This sparked a massive backlash on social media and many viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter to make their feelings known.<\/p>\n

@bpd1 complained: “I found #CliffRichard extremely offensive on #thismorning chatting to @AlisonHammond @radioleary @SarahTheDuchess bout not wanting to take pictures with someone if they are overweight. What a shallow nasty thing to say.” (sic)<\/p>\n

@starlightlady32 echoed: “Even though my family are a big fan of cliff Richard but he shouldn’t have said this on this morning about Elvis is being disrespectful to him.”<\/p>\n

@KathrynHaugh shared: “.. Loved the show today. Only one thing spoilt it.. I had to switch off when ‘I love me’ Cliff Richard came on..such a shame great show up to then…” (sic)<\/p>\n

While @ThisTVGuy tweeted: “I think cancel culture may catch up with Cliff Richard today. You can\u2019t be saying you didn\u2019t want a photo because he was fat. That\u2019s just rude you mean man! #ThisMorning.” (sic)<\/p>\n

@sophie_summerz went on: “How dare #cliffrichard fat shame The King!”<\/p>\n
