Dog act Ashleigh and Pudsey have been crowned the winners of Britain’s Got Talent 2012, taking home a £500,000 cash prize to share between them.
17-year-old schoolgirl Ashleigh and her pet pooch Pudsey triumphed in tonight’s live final, making them the first dog act to win the show since it began 6 years ago.
The pair have also won themselves a spot on the Royal Variety Show in front of her Majesty the Queen in December.
But as a teary Ashleigh took in the news, there was still one thing to account for!
“I am completely delighted, but more than that, Simon said if the dog won he would dance with it,” Amanda Holden recalled, to cheers from the audience.
And as Ashleigh and Pudsey celebrated their win with one final performance, Simon even joined in with a sort-of little jig, albeit from the comfort of his chair!
Jonathan and Charlotte finished in second place, while Welsh choir Only Boys Aloud finished in third place.
