Carrie Bickmore was overcome with emotion after she realised she would be interviewing Elton John.
But it didn’t take long for her happiness to switch to rage after she discovered that she was the victim of an elaborate prank by her Hit Network radio co-host, Tommy Little.
The radio duo was visiting London where Tommy told Carrie he arranged “one last surprise” for her.
The Project host was told to put on a blindfold and walk into a room where a mystery guest was waiting.
As she entered and removed her blindfold, Carrie was shocked to see Elton John sitting in a chair waiting to speak to her.
“Oh my god! S***!” she yelped in excitement.
But as she fought back tears, she didn’t realise that the man sitting in front of her was actually one of the world’s best Elton John impersonators.
The journalist composed herself and began the interview.
Then, taking her by surprise, the lookalike serenaded her with a few bars of Candle in the Wind, which left the radio star in tears.
Once her session was up, Elton left and Tommy entered the room to ask Carrie what the experience was like.
“F***ing emotional,” said Carrie as she wiped her eyes dry.
But all hell broke loose once Tommy revealed that she had been pranked.
“Hey, there’s someone else we want to introduce you to,” he said, as the fake Elton John walked back into the room. “This is Ray … a world renowned Elton John impersonator.”
Feeling humiliated, Carrie screamed out, “F*** you! You are the most horrible people I have ever met! This is just not funny.”
