Salsa dancing British granny Paddy Jones wins Spain's Got Talent

Some pensioners retire to Spain to ease their arthritis by relaxing by the pool under the Mediterranean sun. Not so Sarah “Paddy” Jones, 75, who has preferred to while away her twilight years doing something a little more athletic.


With a series of shimmies, flips and slides, Mrs Jones, originally from Stourbridge, West Midlands, won the Spanish equivalent of Britain’s Got Talent with an acrobatic salsa routine, winning her and her partner — 40 years her junior — the first prize of €10,000 (£9,100) and whatever other fortune her new-found fame can bring.


Dressed in a tight, dark-blue dress, the demure British grandmother wowed the audience on the Spanish television programme Tu Si Que Vales (You Are Worth It) and left the judges alternately open-mouthed or holding their heads in their hands as she was flipped over her partner’s head and through his legs, sliding around the dance floor like someone a third of her age.
