Ashley Banjo has had a “take your dog to work day” as he mourns the loss of a childhood pet.
The Dancing On Ice judge shared a picture of himself at dance rehearsals with his Diversity group mate Perri Kiely where they both have their pet pooches beside them.
In the cute snap posted on Instagram, Ashley, 29, is accompanied by his Chihuahua, KP, while Perri, 22, strokes his pug, Barry.
Ashley and Perri strike identical poses in the shot with their little dogs by their side.
Ashley wrote along the picture: “Back to training today – Got a feeling it’s going to be hard!! Brought along a chihuahua and a pug for good luck #training #goodluckcharms#hardwork.”
Hundreds of his fans commented on the image to say it was “adorable”.
“Omg you’re killing me with all these gorgeous dog pictures!!!” one wrote.
Another said: “Awww too cute! Can’t deal with all these gorgeous pooches.”
Others joked that it looked like the Diversity dancers were at a dog yoga class.
Ashley, who recently gained praise for choreographing male and female routines for The Real Full Monty Live, shared his sadness this week over the loss of a childhood pet.

Sharing a picture of the late dog, he wrote: “RIP Rocky – I didn’t want today to pass without introducing you all to a very special soul.”
He added: “Most of you have never seen him… But he’s been in my life since I was a kid and today we lost him. I wanted you all to see his handsome face! Love you and miss you already boy.”
Ashley’s fans are more familiar with his other dogs – KP and Great Dane Oscar, who even has his own Instagram account.
On Monday, the dancer also revealed that he and his wife Francesca have welcomed another dog into their home – puppy Melvin, who is also a Great Dane.
He wrote beside a cute snap of his cuddling the pup: “Meet Melvin the Great Dane Puppy at 8weeks old! The newest member of the Banjo Household… @francescabanjo and I are a little bit in love already. I’m sure there will be a lot more pics to come, he won’t be this small for long! #newpuppy #greatdane.”
