Paris Hilton takes part in hotel wind-up

Reality television star Paris Hilton has taken part in a radio show wind-up of one of the Hilton hotels.

Hilton, whose great-grandfather founded the hotel chain, agreed to ring up the Glasgow Hilton and ask for a discount on a room there.

During the prank, which was aired on Real Radio, the television star asked the reservations clerk for a discount on a standard queen room, which was quoted as £170 to her.

The clerk replied: "There is no discount I can initiate, I'm afraid." When further questioned by Hilton, he said: "That is the cheapest rate I have available to me."

Real Radio host Robin Galloway said: "I didn't think Paris would be up for doing the wind-up, but she was a great sport and even thought the guy in reservations at the hotel was way too serious."
