Audience left 'all shook up' by Nativity mix-up

A BOY mistakenly dressed as Elvis instead of an elf at his school Christmas Nativity after a family mix-up over his costume.

Nine-year-old Oscar Wilkins, from Aberdare, had been assigned the part of Elvis the elf in last week's production at his primary school.

His puzzled family said he had neglected to mention the elf element and informed them he was playing Elvis. They subsequently hunted down a costume for the rock and roll legend.

They only discovered the mistake when he appeared on stage. But rather than being all shook up, Oscar embraced his leading role and found the entire situation hilarious.

His sister Jade Smith, 28, said the audience couldn't help falling in love with the absurdity of it all. She said Oscar had simply informed his family he required an Elvis costume for the performance.
