Priscilla Presley makes her debut on Dancing With The Stars

High-kicking Priscilla Presley rolled back the years as she made her ballroom debut on 'Dancing With The Stars'.

Elvis Presley's ex-wife made light of being the oldest contestant ever to appear on the hit US show by gliding around the dance floor.

The 62-year-old got a standing ovation from a studio audience including pregnant daughter Lisa Marie for her impressive foxtrot.

And she also wowed the judges who gave the dancing novice a total score of 24 to put her second on the ladies' night leaderboard.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba told her: "You just proved age is just a number."

Delighted Priscilla said: "This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done.

"Hopefully I can inspire all women out there to take chances and have fun."

Priscilla's was one of several remarkable performances as deaf Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin hardly missed a beat despite being unable to hear the music.

Her score of 22 placed her third, with gold medal figure-skate Kristi Yamaguchi leading the way with a whopping 27 total.

Ex-tennis champ Monica Seles faces a struggle to stay in the competition after scoring just 15 points, three less than Hairspray star Marissa Jaret Winokur.

American Pie beauty Shannon Elizabeth received a total score of 21.
