Salsa granny shimmies to title

A 75-year-old British grandmother has won a top Spanish television talent show with a dazzling acrobatic salsa.

Paddy Jones, originally from Stourbridge, stunned viewers and judges with a routine which included flips, shimmies, spins and slides.

The grandmother of seven only took up salsa dancing five years ago following the death of her husband.

Wearing a skimpy blue dress, the septuagenarian took to the dancefloor last night with a partner 40 years her junior on the Spanish version of Britain's Got Talent.

Mrs Jones, who now lives in Spain, told the television show: "I feel I'm extremely lucky that I can do what I do and I shall continue as long as I possibly can."
