Talking to Elise at home, Piers said: "This is Stevie, who I actually got to do a video proposal to your mother when I proposed to your mother. True story."
"Did he just call to say he loved her?" Susanna joked.
Happy 70th Birthday, Stevie Wonder. This picture was taken at the Mondrian hotel in LA in the summer of 2006. It was 2am, steaming hot, much alcohol had been partaken & Stevie was charming, cool & mercilessly mocked my English accent. My favourite singer & a fantastic bloke. 👇 pic.twitter.com/U0z6BT0Gid
