Strictly Perfect Christmas For Penguin

A Fife resident's been able to celebrate Christmas in Strictly style after receiving an unexpected gift.

Judy the penguin at St Andrews Aquarium got a cheque for £100 from namesake Judy Murray - along with a card from "Judy the Dancer" saying "treat yourself to something fishy".

The bird was named after the Strictly Come Dancing star following her son Andy Murray's victory at Wimbledon. Other penguins at the attraction were named Andy, Kim and Shirley - after the tennis player, his girlfriend and granny.

Judy Murray, who's Scottish Tennis Coach and British Federation Cup Team Captain, visited the waddle last August. Since then the two Judys have struck up a friendship on Twitter.

Recently the star has been supporting her penguin namesake’s bid to charm fellow Twitter penguin Monty, of John Lewis fame, into a date.

Sadly for Judy, there was no kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas.
