Elton John has hit back at claims his house is “dirty”.
The Rocket Man singer had a hilarious rebuttal for critics of his housekeeping abilities after he previously showed off a “dirty” oven door in an Instagram Reel.
Having copped heat from fans over the state of his oven after he shared a peek of it, accompanied by snippets of his 1974 hit, Step into Christmas, Elton, 78, took to social media once again in a comedic bid to rescue his reputation.
“Hello people, it’s Elton John here,” the singer began. “A couple of weeks ago, I did some videos in this kitchen about how crazy ‘Step Into Christmas’ was driving me, and it got an incredible response, which I was quite startled about.”
He went on to describe his shock at fans’ reactions to his oven door.
“A lot of the response was kind of negative about how dirty my oven was,” Elton explained. “My oven door, my oven window. And I can assure you, I don’t have anything dirty in this house. I’ve never had anything dirty. I’m not a dirty person!”
Donning a pair of bright pink, feather-trimmed rubber gloves, Elton declared he would redeem himself.
“To prove I don’t have anything that’s dirty, I’m going to do something to show you,” he announced.
The video was quickly followed by a sequel, captioned simply, “Don’t think your comments go unnoticed”, in which Elton sprayed cleaner onto his oven door and gave it a scrub.
Before slamming the oven door shut, he concluded: “Look, I’ve got the cleanest oven window in Windsor.”
