Cooper’s performing career started at the age of six when he would mimic late Queen singer Freddie Mercury.

But he soon discovered the Hound Dog singer and spends all his time perfecting his tribute.

He won his school talent contest, made it through several auditions of The Voice Kids and was a hit at an Elvis music festival.

Mum Kelly said: “From the moment he wakes up to the time he goes to bed all he is thinking of is singing and dancing.

“There is no one quite like him — certainly at his age. No one is doing Elvis like he is and he started when he was just seven.

“We haven’t pushed him at all, we couldn’t have stopped him — he just loves it so much.

“He knows all of Elvis’s songs now and has perfected the dance moves.

“He’s also grown his hair long enough to quiff it himself naturally.”

Cooper, of Paignton, Devon, said: “I want to be so famous I don’t have to go to school.

“I just want to perform forever.

“My favourite song is Jailhouse Rock and my dream is to perform in Las Vegas and have my own show.”
