Gogglebox fans have rushed to share their condolences with two cast members after they announced the death of their dog.
Former couple Stephen Webb, 53, and Daniel Lustig, 43, shared that their poodle had died on Instagram on Sunday, 24 November.
Webb and Lustig welcomed the pet while they were in a relationship and are still on good terms despite deciding to divorce after six years of marriage in April.
The former couple, who still run a hair salon together, shared a photo of the golden puppy to social media alongside the caption: “Today we said goodbye to the kindest little girl, our princess RIP.”
Webb also shared a video montage of the poodle captioned “RIP”.
Fans were quick to send their love to Webb and Lustig. “I know what it feels like , they are our fur babies,’ one person wrote.
“Oh my goodness Stephen I’m so sorry, she was a little darling. Sending my love to you,” another added.
“Oh dear, my heart hurts for you both,” a third person said. “Sleep tight little princess xxx”
Webb and Lustig have remained close after announcing their divorce with Webb sharing a video of them on a tandem bicycle last week.
“Riding tandem straight out of this marriage,” he joked. “#bff.”
Announcing their divorce in April, Webb said: “There is, and always will be, a lot of love there but we’ve unfortunately grown apart and made the decision to part ways.”
Meanwhile, Lustig added: “We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end. I’m sure we will forever be friends.”
Webb appeared on the first 10 series of Gogglebox with his then-partner Chris Ashby-Steed. The pair split among rumours of a feud, with Chris eventually leaving the show in 2018.
Webb then appeared with his mum Pat, who died in January, for two series before being joined by Lustig.
The show has experienced further tragedy with the death of 40-year-old George Gilbey in March this year, Gilbey went on to Celebrity Big Brother fame after appearing on Gogglebox.
The news was first shared by TV personality Ricci Guarnaccio, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014 alongside Gilbey, with Guarnaccio confirming the death had occurred while Gilbey was at work.
