Camilla Dallerup's Underdog finds a new home

Oct 5 2008 By Fiona Young

UNDERDOG star Camilla Dallerup has found rescue dog turned TV star Chico a new home - with her coach on the show.

The model appeared with the collie/Alsatian cross on The Underdog Show - where 10 celebrities try to train abandoned pets.

Camilla was unable to adopt Chico, who came from the Glasgow Dogs Trust centre, as dogs are not allowed in the building where she lives.

But she has convinced Darren James, her trainer on the Living TV show, to let the pooch stay at his Royvon training school in Wales.

Darren said: "Camilla was concerned right from the start because she knew she could not rehome Chico.

"I felt I could not keep him because as well as the 50 dogs we work with, I have my own dog Fleur.

"But Camilla kept on, working on my wife too - and as I got to know Chico I fell in love with his personality."

Camilla, who is now on Strictly Come Dancing, has met up with her Underdog partner several times.

Darren said: "She's happy he has settled so well."
