Kerry's fans were so impressed with her dad's dancing

Kerry's happy demeanour comes just weeks after she announced the death of her beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire Terrier, Josie.

Sharing a series of heart-melting photos of the duo together, Kerry said in part: "To say that Josie was a member of our family doesn’t even come close. She was my fur baby companion girl. She was my partner. She went places with me and experienced things that no one else ever did or ever will.

"Last night Josie crossed over and transitioned into a world beyond this one. And a piece of my heart went with her. We were so deeply blessed to have her for as long as we did.

"She brought so much joy into our home and into our lives and into the lives of almost everyone she met. I’m so grateful that she chose us. And that God chose me to be her dog mom."
