Organisers of the Isle of Wight Festival have invited them to perform one of their live pop shows, The King Meets Queen, at next month's event.

The show celebrates the talents of two great performers, Elvis Presley and Queen, in energetic, polished routines full of music and dance.

The fast-paced rock/pop fest was created by Butlins in conjunction with Viva Productions and is performed by Butlins cast members in front of about 8,000 holidaymakers.

But they now be in front of up to 60,000 festival-goers in a line-up which includes The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Stereophonics, McFly and Ultravox.

Mike Godolphin, head of entertainment at Butlins, said: "We've always been very proud of our live entertainment but to get this type of recognition from one of the UK's best festivals is pretty awesome."
