Stacey Solomon has welcomed a new addition to Pickle Cottage in an attempt to heal her broken heart after the death of one of her dogs.
A month after the Loose Women panellist lost her beloved 11 year old dog, Theo, she has now welcomed a new pup to the family home, by adopting "abandoned" dog Teddy.
The 32-year-old claimed that since losing Theo, her other dog Peanut had been "grieving" the loss of his best friend.

Stacey told her fans, on her Instagram Stories : "We are looking into adopting a friend for him. But I must admit I feel so guilty about it. I just think about Theo.
"But our vet said Peanut may be a dog that absolutely needs a companion and it could be detrimental to his well-being if he doesn't have one."
She later revealed that they were going on a little road trip to potentially choose a rescue dog.
But the family brought the new family member home sooner than expected as today she wrote: "So we ended up bringing the little doggy home last night. We couldn't leave without him. He's so lovely...
"He was bred by someone who was breeding dogs for sale and he wasn't good enough for sale so they got rid of him...
"When we learned about him and then saw Peanut's reaction to him there was no doubt in our mind that he was coming home."
She went on to add: "I didn't know we would be able to bring him home straight away so we were a little unprepared. We've spent last night and today settling him in and getting him all sorted."
Stacey went on to share several pictures of their new dog Teddy cuddling up to Peanut, herself and Rex.
With the pictures, she wrote the caption: " Welcome Home Teddy. Last night we rescued a dog. But today I’m not sure who has rescued who.
"We miss you so much Theo. I hope you’re looking down from heaven smiling, knowing that Peanut will no longer be so very lonely and that a doggy who really needed a family now has one."
