Elton John took to Instagram on Monday night to write about how happy he was to have been included in the BBC’s assassin show, Killing Eve.
Sharing a picture of Jodie Comer’s Villanelle wearing oversized heart-shaped glasses, the 73-year-old wrote: ‘#KillingEve is such a groundbreaking series.
‘And I was thrilled to be included in this week’s episode. I think the glasses suit you @jodiemcomer!’

Jodie, 27, was delighted with the mention and wrote a shocked emoji and a heart underneath and shared it on her Stories with an exploding heart emoji.
She also reposted a post from Elton’s Stories in which he had written: ‘I love this @jodiemcomer. You look fabulous.’
Jodie had written: ‘I can’t even act cool. I’m going to look at this whenever I’m sad.’
Iconic: Glasses-loving Elton is clearly a big fan of the popular BBC assassin show
Elton and his music are a big part of the latest episode of the spy-action thriller, which tells the story of two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, who go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.
A boy, who is a long-lost relative of Villanelle’s and a big fan of the rock icon, asked her what she thinks the singer would eat if he were in Berlin or Vienna.
He also leads Villanelle into singing Crocodile Rock along with a note which reads: ‘Go see Elton.’

Yet in real life, last month Elton announced he was unable to go ahead with the next leg of his farewell tour in the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The end of the New Zealand and Australia leg of his farewell tour in February was marred by his ill health.
A statement on behalf of the British star previously wrote on Twitter:
‘i can’t even look cool’: Jodie reposted this as well and wrote that she would look at it whenever she ‘felt sad’
‘It is with deep regret that Elton John must postpone the remainder of his upcoming North American 2020 dates on his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour from May 22 through July 8.’
The statement continued: ‘Previously postponed performances were from March 26 through May 2, 2020.’
‘This tough decision has been made with the continued safety and well-being of his fans at a time when health services are under increased pressure.
‘And with the concern that these gatherings continue to risk accelerating the spread of the Coronavirus [COVID-19].’
For those who’d been planning to attend the now postponed shows, the statement said their tickets would be good for the rescheduled dates in 2021 which would be announced soon.
The series of tweets ended with a promise that Elton will perform live around the world again and thanked fans for their ‘endless support’.
