Rachel and pet pooches, Jessica and Jacob (Jack Russell's) from Exeter, Devon are to star in a heart-warming hour-long ITV1 special this Boxing Day in which they'll be competing against some of Britain's most talented dogs.
That Dog Can Dance! will see five talented dogs and their owners vying for the title of 'Best in Show' to win a top prize in the canine world - the chance to perform at Crufts, the world's greatest dog show, in 2013. The lucky winners will also win a dog-friendly holiday and a generous supply of treats.
Christine Bleakley hosts proceedings with judging panel Ashleigh and Pudsey – who triumphed in Britain's Got Talent earlier this year in front of 13 million people - the inimitable Sharon Osbourne with her furry friends, Bella and Rocky, and comedian Bill Bailey with his dogs Teddi and Bule, giving their verdicts on their favourite performing pooch before the final winner is decided by the live studio audience.
Ashleigh and Pudsey – fresh from their show-stealing performance at The Royal Variety Performance - will also be on hand with a very special show for viewers.
That Dog Can Dance! is a Syco/Thames (part of FremantleMedia UK) co-production.
