Crufts gig for Kate & Gin; BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT.

A DOUBLE act through to the final of Britain's Got Talent have already landed a booking none of the others are likely to ever be offered - performing at Crufts.

Kate and Gin, the dance duo made up of teenager Kate Nicholas and her border collie, have been asked to do their turn at a series of dog events.

They include the world's largest International Agility Festival later this year and next year's Crufts, the top dog show watched by millions on TV.

And the couple will be guests of honour at a range of other event organised by The Kennel Club.

Kate, 16, has been a member of the organisation's junior wing since she was nine.

Her dance routines with Gin have impressed judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan so much that they are among the favourites to win this weekend.

Caroline Kisko of the Kennel Club, said: "Kate is a real inspiration for any young person thinking of making a name for themselves in the world of dogs.

"The pair have shown just how skilful - and howmuch fun - activities with your dog can be."

Kate said: "Belonging to the Young Kennel Club has helped me to develop a real rapport with dogs and Gin and I have such great fun.

"I hope that, by seeing what we do, more people will discover the pleasure that working with dogs can bring."
