Stacey Solomon welcomes new family member as she adopts abandoned dog after Theo's death

Stacey Solomon has welcomed the "newest member of her family" into Pickle Cottage after taking an abandoned dog home with her.

It comes a month after the Loose Women star, 32, was left devastated after her beloved dog Theo, who had been with her for 11 years, died around Christmas.

Since Theo died, the family's other dog peanut has been "grieving" and has been struggling to come to terms with losing his best friend.

Stacey has since revealed that she went on a road trip last night to potentially pick up a rescue dog.

She told fans on her Insta 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."

Stacey went on to update fans on the situation, revealing that they had decided to bring the dog home with them last night as they "couldn't live without him".

She also explained that he was "got rid of" after a breeder considered him "not to be good enough for sale".

The Loose Women panelist also said that Peanut's reaction to the dog had been all the persuasion they needed to take him home.

Stacey wrote: "So we ended up bringing the little doggy home last night. We couldn't leave without him. He's so lovely...

"He was bread [sic] by somebody who was breeding dogs for sale and he wasn't good enough for sale so they god rid of him...

"When we learned about him and then saw Peanuts reaction to him there was no doubt in our mind that he was coming home.

"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.

"As soon as I've finished the school run and madness and fed everyone i can't wait for you to meet our newest member of the family... lots and lots of love. Happy Monday."

She went on to share several pictures of their new dog Teddy cuddling up to Peanut, herself and Rex.

Stacey wrote: "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. To the moon and back, always."

So adorable!
