He's so fetch-ing! Lisa Vanderpump's pet pooch Giggy steals her Dancing With The Stars spotlight as he sports a doggy tuxedo

As a dozen new celebrities started battle in Dancing With The Stars, an unexpected character stole the spotlight - a tux wearing dog named Giggy.
London-born reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump has long treated her  Pomeranian like a baby - and appears set on making him the standout star as she appears on the hit dancing TV show, too.
As the cameras panned to her opening her first dance on opening night of the new season, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star stood with her pooch in her hands, dressed adorably in a black tux and pink bow tie.

Making his mark on Hollywoof: Lisa Vanderpump's pet dog Giggy joined her for her Dancing With The Stars debut on Monday

But sadly rumours that the dog would actually take part in her dance never materialized, and he was instead handed over to someone acting as a butler who carried him off-stage as her routine began.
But as he was brought straight back to her after judging, Lisa insisted: 'I think Giggy deserves a 10 though because he was so cute.'
On the dance-floor, Lisa's full attention instead turned to partner Gleb Savchenko - a dark-haired hunk already seemingly set to become the show's new heartthrob.

But Lisa had already warned her pooch what was to come.
'Gleb is a gorgeous, hot, hunky man - so Giggy you are going to have to understand that there's a new man in our life,' she told him in behind-the-scenes footage.
But Lisa admitted the steamy rehearsals also made her feel like she was cheating on another man in her life - husband Ken Todd.

'Ken and I have been married for 30 years and sometimes I feel like it's almost being unfaithful - in the nicest possible way!' she said of the rehearsals as a topless Gleb was seen grabbing her behind.
'I'm happy to be as unfaithful as it takes to make a good dance, but jeez - it's really in your face!'
The flirtiness between the two, with the hot young pro usually topless, seemed obvious, with the reality TV star taming it with humor.

Top dog: Lisa said she thought Giggy ought to be awarded ten points for being 'so cute'

'I've only just met you - it doesn't feel, like, normal,' she said as Gleb grabbed her close. And when he complained that she was being 'too shy' as they stood glued together, she quipped: 'If we were that shy we wouldn't be connected by or private parts!'
'Knees together, just like my mother always taught me,' she teased him at one point, while in another move Gleb grabbed her in a way that forced her legs to kick around his waist.

'The last time I did this was on my honeymoon!' she joked, having also said their partnership felt 'like an arranged marriage'.

Not the best of beginnings: Lisa was left low on the leaderboard after raking in 18 out of 30 points

The judges also made note of Gleb's obvious good looks.
'Oh my darling lovely and luscious Lisa - I bet you're happy with that puppy,' judge Bruno Tonioli asked her pointing straight at Gleb as she nodded wildly.
'I'm safer with the puppy though, let's be honest,' she shot back.

Gleb also promised there will be a lot more coming in the rest of the season.
'I'm just going to take off my shirt and bring the sexy back,' he said when asked his tactics for the season. 'After 30 years of marriage, I think she needs that.'
Still, Lisa insists her marriage is safe.
'No, Ken doesn't have anything to worry about,' she said, adding with a smile: 'I don't think.'
