However, fans were left cringing when he started doing an impersonation of Elvis for the viewers. Standing up, he made his way to the front of the desk and started dancing, leaving viewers cringing.

Viewers took to Twitter to share their feelings about his appearance, as one wrote: “I don’t watch this rubbish anymore but my mum told me how cringe he was. I don’t know what’s worse when he tried to dance or when he said his lips have gone thin,” as a second added: “We’ve heard all those Cliff stories thousands of times!!!#LooseWomen.”

A third shared: “This is so painful i am loving it! #loosewomen,” with a fourth writing: “I will never understand women swooning over Cliff not now or back in the day, and that’s allowing for all of us having different taste. I genuinely don’t get it. #LooseWomen.” A fifth penned on social media: “Cliff Richard is insufferable. Get him off. #LooseWomen.”

However, some took to social media to share their excitement at seeing Cliff back on their TVs. One wrote: “Gloria and Sir Cliff’s friendship is absolutely fantastic. Plus, you can see it’s not just for the TV screens, but it’s a true and long life friendship.” A second added: “Cliff looks fantastic for his age. What is his secret? #LooseWomen,” whilst others praised his singing voice and said it was good to see his successful career continuing years after it began.

Cliff and Gloria’s friendship goes way back, with the pair having met decades ago. Speaking about how their friendship started, she said: “When the Troubles were in Northern Ireland… no entertainer would come. Cliff was the first one that came and there was a huge buzz about it and it was a gospel concert. I had joined the BBC, given the job, and I went in naively and said, ‘Oh Cliff Richard’s in town, he’d be good for the programme’. And they went, ‘We’ve tried every which way to get him and he’s not doing anything.’

“But I knew the vicar of that church. See, I rarely take no for an answer so I rang him up and said, ‘If you finish quite early at the church, would you give me a call?’ And I got the call and Cliff agreed to do it so I went down!”
