When it comes to Welsh music legends, Sir Tom Jones has to be up there with some of the best.

The Pontypridd-born singer, who shot to fame in the 1960s, has been wowing audiences around the world for decades with his incredible voice. And, on his travels, he's managed to meet and work with a number of A-list celebrities.

One of which is Elvis Presley. Sir Tom, now 84, has been known to bring him up a lot in conversations over the years, and an interview where he shared one particular memory with the music icon has recently resurfaced.

A clip of an inerview with Conan O'Brien, who's set to host the Oscars this year, has popped up again on TikTok and the story is so wild that some people can't believe it's actually true.

Apparently, there was one time when Sir Tom and Elvis both ended up "naked" together for a very random reason. He left O'Brien in stitches when he told the story of the time they shared a bathroom together.

The story goes, he wanted to share a song with Sir Tom, but he needed to jump in the shower as he was on the road at the time. Sir Tom then heard him singing when he was in the shower.

In the clip, Sir Tom said: "But he was singing all the time. So then, when I got out of the shower, I realised he'd been to the toilet. Yes, in my bathroom while I was in the shower.

"You know he was, whatever. So he was wearing a north beach leather outfit. We used to, a lot of us used to wear them. They were just natural leather.

"So he was standing there cleaning, and looking in the mirror. Anyway, I'm naked and he's half-naked. Yeah, his pants are down around his legs.

"So he's standing and singing this song to me, right? I'm trying to towel down and Elvis is singing and I'm, you know, toweling down."

Sir Tom went onto explain he told Elvis that his pants were down, so he called his bodyguard. His bodyguard, known as "Red", then bust through the door thinking something was wrong, but Elvis just said: "My pants man, my pants."

Essentially, he said the leather outfits used to be so tight that he needed a hand getting them back on. It's clearly a story that stays in Sir Tom's mind for all sorts of hilarious reasons.

The clip has been viewed hundreds of times since it was shared, and it's left people in fits of laughter. Many couldn't believe the story is true, but Sir Tom confirmed it happened.

One replied: "Wow - that's a story!" Another wrote: "That was brilliant."

A third also added: "From one legend to another legend." Meanwhile, a fourth wasn't too sure about how true the tale is, writing: "I'm not convinced any of that happened, lol. A good story though."
