'My spirit animal' - Nottingham Forest ace's dog steals the show in brilliant video

Nottingham Forest ace Matty Cash has given fans a glimpse into how he is keeping in shape while football has been suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The defender recorded a short keep-fit video for the club’s official Twitter account, illustrating some exercises for supporters to follow at home amid the current lockdown.

But there was only one real star of the show - and it wasn’t Cash!

The Reds academy product’s dog, Rio, stole the spotlight as she frequently plonked herself in front of the camera, refused to move and even knocked it over at one point.

Introducing his fitness routine, Cash said: “Obviously we’re going through a tough time at the minute with everything that’s going on.

“It’s been hard to keep fit and do some exercises.

“I’ve got some that you can do in your front room or in your bedroom - you can do it anywhere, you just need a small bit of space.

“I’ll just go through some core exercises, what I do on a day-to-day basis- me and the lads have been doing them because it’s what we’ve been set.

“It’s just what I do in a day-to-day routine to try to keep fit and keep myself in good shape.”

But it was Rio who had many fans talking with her funny antics.
