Hot on the heels – or should that be paws? – of the announcement that Britain's Got Talent star Pudsey will be starring in his very own movie this year, his trainer Ashleigh reveals to HELLO! that she told Simon Cowell the talented pooch could win an Oscar. "But that was in a moment of madness. We will have to see," she laughed, when HELLO! took the famous dancing duo on a pooch pampering day at Harrods' pet spa.
"I'd like to think Pudsey will have his own trailer on the film set," Ashleigh exclusively tells HELLO!. "He will need to go in there for his little cat naps. He doesn't have any diva demands but we do always ask for him to have a fan to keep him nice and cool." The 18-year-old has had a crazy nine months since the duo were crowned winners of the hit talent contest last May, and since then she's performed not once but twice for the Queen – who was so impressed with her act at the Royal Variety Show that she asked her for tips on dog training afterwards.
"I said lots of treats, lots of time and lots of practice," admits Ashleigh. "I should have offered to go and train her corgis really, but I was a bit overwhelmed in the moment. I was kicking myself afterwards!"
