David Walliam's dog stole the limelight during the Britain's Got Talent judge's appearance on BBC's The One Show on Thursday night. The 50-year-old author and comedian was on the show to talk about the return of ITV's talent show and his latest children's book 'The Worlds Worst Pets' but Twitter went into meltdown over his "adorable" dog Ernie, who completely outshone his owner.
The TV judge wasn't the centre of attention when he appeared on The One Show on Thursday, May 5. David was being interviewed by hosts Alex Scott and Ronan Keating and was joined on the green sofa by singer Jack Savoretti, but it was another very special guest, who quickly distracted viewers.
Sitting alongside David was one of his border terriers, Ernie. During the start of his appearance on the BBC show, David's pet pooch could be seen fast asleep next to him on the sofa and later when he was talking about his latest book, Ernie could be seen relaxing like a baby across his lap and enjoying a belly rub from his owner.
