Britain's Got Talent winner 'used stunt dog double' to walk the tightrope


Britain's Got Talent was mired in controversy on Monday after it was revealed the winning act, performing dog Matisse, did not walk the tightrope and used a stunt double instead.

Jules O'Dwyer and Matisse took to the stage to be congratulated by the judges and hosts Ant and Dec after beating Welsh choir Cor Glanaethwy and magician Jamie Raven to the £250,000 prize.

This morning, O'Dwyer, who trains guide dogs, admitted on ITV's Lorraine show that it was another dog - Chase - who walked the tightrope because Matisse is not keen on heights.

The sketch featured O'Dwyer dressed as a policewoman and going after Matisse, who had stolen sausages from a butcher, and also featured another of her pets, three-legged Skippy.

Viewers saw Matisse emerge back on to the stage after he appeared to have walked along parallel ropes, but turned out that a second border collie had performed that part of the stunt.

O'Dwyer said: "Matisse is a little bit afraid of heights so, although he could physically do it, Chase is the dog who says 'I'm the action dog'.

"He plays the double for him," she said.
