A STOURBRIDGE grandmother's sizzling salsa moves have seen her crowned winner of the Spanish version of Britain’s Got Talent.

Seventy-five-year-old Paddy Jones’s acrobatic salsa routine with 30-something dance partner Nicko wowed the judges on the hit Spanish TV show 'Tu Si Que Vales'.

And since being crowned winners of the competition, the unlikely pair have become a YouTube sensation - entertaining internet fans the world over.

She told the News: "It's crazy - life has just turned upside down.

"We're absolutely over the moon, I never really expected it.

"Since then we've been recognised everywhere. I was in the doctor's and people were coming up to me, and at the supermarket and even when I went to fill up with petrol.

"It's absolutely wonderful."

Paddy’s son Phil Jones added: “It’s fabulous. We’re very proud of her.”

Sprightly Paddy - real name Sarah, who ran Paddy’s Fabrics in Victoria Passage before moving to Gandia, near Valencia, Spain, took up salsa dancing around five years ago after her husband David passed away.

The couple had hoped for a quiet retirement in the sunshine, but fate had other ideas.

Instead of returning home after her husband’s death Paddy, a professional dancer in her youth, decided to stay on in Spain and began entertaining herself by reprising her love of dance.

Salsa instructor Nicko, who runs the local dance school, quickly spotted dynamic Paddy’s potential and the pair soon started jet-setting around the world - showcasing their unusual act.

On her last trip home to Stourbridge she told the News she feels “very lucky” to be able to spend her twilight years shimmying around dancefloors instead of pottering about the home.

Stourbridge resident John Sanders, who remembers Paddy from their school days at Alexandra House School, said of her reality TV success: “She’s a wonderful girl. We were classmates as six-year-olds and at that age she was a lovely, graceful dancer; it was obvious she had such talent.”
