An adorable dog left Crufts viewers in hysterics last night, when he proved that a wee break doesn't stop you from being crowned a champion.
The fluffy pooch named Waffle bounded onto the green arena with his owner, Tom Isherwood, to compete in the prestigious final Best In Show competition.
And just as the Channel 4 commentator was heard describing how glamorous he looked, the toy poodle stopped to cock his leg and take a leak.
The commentator paused, then added: "Ah. Oh dear. No standing on ceremony here so here we are, striding out."
His co-commentator added: "It's a number one. Making his mark on the way in."

Waffle, whose official name is Afterglow Agent Orange, proved that a wee doesn't defeat your chances of becoming a champ, and was still named the reserve winner of Best In Show.
He beat a Chow Chow named Elvis The Amazing Boy del Tassino to also win the Utility category earlier on in the day.
Crufts tweeted: "Sometimes the excitement of Best in Show is just too much for some" and one viewer replied: "If you need to go, you need to go !!"
Other fans insisted Waffle was "marking his territory" and said it make them "laugh out loud" at the television.
Crufts' Best in Show winner, the most prestigious award that a dog can earn, was named as Baxter in the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.
Other finalists included a Siberian Husky called Akela, a Border Collie known as Lenor, Conan the Yorkshire Terrier, a Greyhound named Aya and an Irish Terrier called Donnie.
Waffle wasn't the only pup to stop for a toilet break in the Crufts arena this year - La Lady Luna couldn't hold it in any longer and paused for a poo mid-routine.
Handle Maddie Newton collapsed over in disappointment and got out a doggy poo bag to resolve the situation.
La Lady Luna wasn't quite as lucky as Waffle and spoiled her chances of taking home glory when she was disqualified from the competition.
