Priscilla Presley has insisted Elvis was a lot more down to earth than celebrities nowadays.

The 69-year-old star, who married the Blue Suede Shoes hitmaker in 1967 and divorced him in 1973, insists that her former hubby was the "real deal."

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Presley said: "I was just a teenager at the time and I was in Germany, he was signing autographs.

''I just thought how he was the real deal, Elvis wasn't putting on any pretence, he never did. What you saw with him is what you got.

''You don't get that with so many musicians or celebrities these days, they don't value their fans, so I want to share with the world what he was really like.''
