HOLLY Willoughby couldn’t stop laughing as she interviewed the World’s Ugliest Dog and its owner today.

The animal lover was particularly tickled by the fact the dog – called Sweepee Rambo – was wearing a nappy.

And when her owner Jason Wurst described the pup as ‘so boring that’s she’s perfect’, Holly broke down laughing.

Wiping away tears from her eyes Holly said: “That is one of my favourite quotes ever.”

Speaking about his dog, Jason – who has had her for 17 years – opened up about the health problems she is dealing with, revealing: “As she’s aged she’s lost her sight – her vision has gone.

“She’s lost all her front teeth and she has arthritis in her rear legs.”

He went on to reveal that he would be spending the prize money from the competition on removing a tumour on Sweepee Rambo's gum.

And hitting back at claims it is cruel to enter a dog into an ugly competition, he denied he felt guilty, saying: "No, not at all. We go through that every day with her. Everywhere we go she gets stopped in the street.

"She was a rock star before that!"

Those watching at home were particularly taken by Sweepee Rambo and took to Twitter to praise her.

One person wrote: "The guy on this morning with the ugliest dog in the world has made my whole day ???????????? so much love even though shes brutal ????????"

While another added: "The World's Ugliest Dog on This Morning is actually so cute."
