Subject: Dancing Dog wins Britain's Got Talent

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/01/15 at 8:23 am

Dog trainer Jules O'Dwyer and her dog Matisse have won Britain's Got Talent 2015.

It's the second time that a dog has managed to take the top spot in the competition after Ashleigh Butler and her dog Pudsey won the show in 2012.

"I can't believe that we've just won Britain's Got Talent," Jules told Newsbeat. "Super, amazing, amazing."

They will perform in this year's Royal Variety Performance and take home a cash prize of £250,000.

The final drew 13.4 million viewers on Sunday night, with the show becoming this year's highest rating programme on TV so far.

Complaints to Ofcom regarding the stunt double dog used in the Britain's Got Talent final have exceeded 1,000.

Jules O'Dwyer and her dog Matisse won the talent show on Sunday, but it was later revealed that another dog, Chase, performed the tightrope walk section.

A spokesman for Ofcom said it had been contacted by 1,043 disgruntled viewers by Thursday afternoon.

The broadcasting watchdog said the complaints would be assessed before it decided whether to investigate.

ITV said it had separately received 165 complaints about the show.

Both O'Dwyer and judge Simon Cowell have said there was no intention to deceive the audience.

Cowell said "no one set out to fool anybody" and blamed the "confusion" of a live show for the mix up.

Speaking on Thursday, he said: "I think now the dust has settled a bit we can accept that she won."

The UK's obsession with dogs really pisses me off. It's cringe-worthy and pathetic. Someone with actual talent could have won and gone on to make something of themselves and instead a dog that will be dead in 5 years wins and will go on to achieve absolutely nothing.

To future talent shows - please ban all non-human animals from taking part.

There should be a separate program of "Pets Got Talent".

They beat out Magician Jamie Raven in the final, whom I thought was the far better act, but I guess the world of dog people were the voters. 

Of any televised talent show I've seen, Jamie is easily the best magic act I've seen ...

I also really enjoyed Michael Late.  His magic wasn't the greatest (it's easy to see how the following trick was done), but the way he put on the act with the Austrian theme and the background distractions was genius!  I'd definitely go and see his show ...
