Stacey Solomon is 'feeling a bit of dread' ahead of anniversary of beloved dog's death

Stacey Solomon took to Instagram to share with her followers that she was dreading the festive season, due to it being the anniversary of her dog, Theo, passing away.

The Loose Women star, 33, uploaded a few clips to Instagram stories of herself and son Rex visiting Theo’s grave.

In the clips, Rex was dressed in a cream beanie hat, a white jumper with some brown trousers and trainers, as he ran down a grass path alongside a field with Stacey’s other dogs.

Stacey uploaded a clip of Rex using a spray bottle to squirt liquid onto Theo’s plaque, then using a brush tool to clear dirt off it.

He then put some flowers down at the plot.

Stacey captioned the video: “Happy heavenly Christmas Theo...

“Good afternoon. Me and Rexy spent the morning visiting Theo. Cleaning her plaque & bringing her some fresh flowers: sounds silly but as it gets closer to Christmas and I remember that last boxing day we lost her.

"I'm missing her more than ever and feeling a bit of dread towards boxing day for some reason (teary eye emoji) we love you fifi happy heavenly Christmas darling (white heat emoji).”

Announcing the news of her pet Pomeranian-Chihuahua-mix passing away, Stacey wrote on Instagram last year: "Sweet Dreams Theo The best friend we could have ever wished for. Our hearts are broken.

"Yesterday at home in our arms we had to say goodnight to our Theo. 11 wonderful years. We were so lucky to love you Fifi and we will never stop. My lap has never felt so empty I miss you so much already.

"Rex has had the best friend in you that he could ever have wished for and the boys have had the best protector in the whole wide world. Even though Rex is only little I know him, Zachary and Leighton will never ever forget you."

The pet dog passed away in Stacey’s arms over the Christmas period last year.
