“I’m absolutely heart broken, after 11 years with my little Ellie I have had to say goodbye. Never knew a dog could make me feel this pain but it has. She was my best friend. Ur in doggy heaven and glad I was back home in Newcastle to be there for your last breath. Love you ellz,” she wrote on Twitter.

In a separate post on Instagram, she revealed: “I literally grew up with her and even see her give birth! But I know ur in doggy heaven and so glad I was back home in Newcastle to be there for your last breath.”

A bunch of fans have rallied around Sophie duringthis tough time, writing: “Lots of love and strength for you dear Sophie ❤ I'm absolutely sure that Ellie loved you just as much as you loved her," and "So sorry Sophie. Worst feeling in the world. [😔] all my thoughts are with you."
