Ashleigh and Pudsey may have found fame and fortune on Britain’s Got Talent.
But it seems the competition is already snapping at their heels.
Trainer Rachael Grylls and her dancing pets Jacob and Jessica have reportedly caught Simon Cowell’s eye after winning a prestigious dog show this month.
The 33-year-old impressed a crowd of 26,000 people at the Discover Dogs show at Earls Court in London with her circus-themed routine.
Her Jack Russells have mastered a series of tricks every bit as impressive as Uggie, who starred in hit silent film The Artist earlier this year.
The pair jumped through hoops, rolled barrels, skipped, played the piano and rode on horseback in a ten-minute show to music.
TV mogul Cowell sent talent scouts to the competition to recruit animals for his Christmas special dog talent show Take The Lead.
Impressively, Mrs Grylls only started training her pets a year-and-a-half ago.
Until then, she specialised in training horses on her stud farm near Launceston, Cornwall, where she lives with her husband Sean, 35, and daughter Angelina, ten.
She said: ‘It just started off as play. One day Jessica jumped up on one of the horses’ backs, so I started teaching them other tricks.
‘I have never read a dog training manual or had any professional help.
