Salsa dancing British grandmother, 75, wins Spanish 'You've Got Talent' TV show



A rather flexible 75-year-old British grandmother has won the Spanish equivalent of Britain's Got Talent with a dazzling acrobatic salsa display.

Paddy Jones, originally from Stourbridge in the West Midlands, 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 television talent show.



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



Mrs Jones's son, Phil Jones, told the Stourbridge News: 'It's fabulous. We're very proud of her.'



The newspaper reported that Mrs Jones, whose real first name is Sarah, was a professional dancer in her youth.

She started dancing when she was just two and a half years old, concentrating on classical ballet and tap.



Mrs Jones moved to Gandia, near Valencia, where she took up salsa after the death of her husband, David.



She danced on the hit Spanish show, Tu Si Que Vales, with the local dance school instructor, Nico.



The winning pair were handed a cheque for £9,055.
