The world’s ugliest dog has been given a makeover.

Hideous hound Peanut was dolled up by make-up artists and fashion designers from Jimmy Kimmel Live but to little effect.

A bow-tie and painted nails after a blonde wig and trainers had been discarded were unable to mask the poor pooch’s imperfections.

However, the mutt’s owner Holly Chandler was delighted by the outcome, telling the talk show host: “Oh I think it’s gorgeous! Look at him!”

TV star Kimmel approved of the pet’s new look, joking: “He’s almost too good looking now, he’s like the Bradley Cooper of dogs.”

Peanut was badly burned when he was a puppy, which resulted in bald patches all over his body.

He was triumphant at the annual World’s Ugliest Dog contest in California last week.
