Justin Hoylake celebrates his win
Ahoy! Shipmates.
There were extraordinary scenes in the Sunset Lounge show bar last night as Justin Hoylake clinched the Elvis of the Waves title ahead of bookies favourite, Eric Van de Twelvebore, in a closely fought final round.
Eric, from Rotterdam, was left bitterly disappointed following the use of a misspelled tattoo he had printed on his chest, a move he thought would clinch the title. But the tattoo, “Viva Los Vagas” became his undoing and the judges were left unimpressed by his attempt to cover up the error.
“We’ve never seen Elvis wearing a vest, before,” said Luke Benidorm, Ocean Viking’s senior navigator and spokesman for the judging panel.
Never mind, Eric.
