Speaking on best's Suddenly Single, he said: "So I went and saw her and I jokingly said 'it must be quite lonely being here, let's go and have dinner one night' and she said yes. So we all went out two nights later, a lovely friendly dinner.
"I said 'I can see some paps outside, so we shouldn't go out right now', but she said no, let's go. So we went out there and she gave me a little kiss on the cheek and got in a car and went home.
"That was it. It was just a really lovely evening. We all went out again a couple of weeks later, but nothing went on at all - but the way they pictured it, it all went bonkers."
He continued: "My manager rang me and said, 'have you seen the papers!'. There were chat shows in America saying Toby will you come over. 'No!'. The incredible thing was sitting with Priscilla and her talk to us about Elvis and their life in Graceland. I had a bit of an out of body experience.
"I'm with Priscilla and she's talking about The King. I count myself lucky to have met her as she's a charming, lovely woman but that was that."
Speaking about her in 2013, Toby admitted he 'fancied the pants off her', revealing he thought she was 'beautiful'. He went on to praise the star, adding she looked 'exquisite', 'spoke with such poise' and has 'so much charisma'.

Toby said: "We were out till about 3.30am and she had a show at lunchtime the next day so she was getting worried. That didn't stop us doing tequila shots at gone midnight. It was brilliant.
'She did mention me going out to see her in the States and offered to show us around Graceland personally – that would be ridiculous.'
