Losing the plot? Demelza doggie’s book at bedtime!

EVEN the most ardent dog lover might consider this a little over the top: Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson reveals she reads bedtime stories to her Border Collie, Bert.

The 26-year-old actress, who plays Demelza in the hit BBC1 costume drama, has shared a video online of her sitting on the sofa with Bert, reading Stephanie Stansbie’s picture book What’s That Noise, Little Mouse? to him. Eleanor has set up a social media account for the pampered pooch and wrote, ‘Bedtime story with mummy’, next to the video.
