Simon Cowell wants Pudsey to judge TV show - The Sun

The Britain's Got Talent winner will appear on the panel of ITV2's Top Dog Model with his owner Ashleigh Butler.

We told how show bosses are hoping to cash in on Pudsey's success with the new format, which will see the winner land a doggie modelling contract.

An ITV spokesman said: "We want to include pooches of all varieties, shapes and size – along with their owners – in this new exciting series."

The news came hours after Pudsey jetted across the Atlantic on Simon Cowell's private jet on Saturday for a series of US engagements.

Simon tweeted a picture of him and his new client on board yesterday.

The first-class canine will appear on shows including America's Got Talent, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Good Morning America.
