Pooch Perfect fans have shared their delight over contestant Lakhi being named best in show at the end of the latest episode, commending him on his ‘brilliant’ dog grooming skills.
During the second instalment of BBC One’s new show, dog groomers Tanya, Hannah, Tom and Lakhi were first tasked with taking on the immense challenge of grooming a pack of hairy Alaskan Malamutes.
While Lakhi was put in the ‘dog house’ for his efforts, he had a chance to redeem himself when he and his fellow competitors were presented with the challenge of giving a group of puppies their first haircuts.
Lakhi did a stellar job styling his poodle, earning the best in show accolade from the judges as host Sheridan Smith watched on proudly.
Several Pooch Perfect viewers congratulated Lakhi on his achievement, with one person saying that they felt ‘chuffed’ for him.
‘Lakhi’s poodle pup was brilliant, so pleased for him!’ one person tweeted.

Another stated: ‘Aww huge congrats to Lakhi and Hannah, they definitely deserved to go through this week!’
