Stacey Solomon gives 'sad' family update as she reveals 'new journey forever'
Stacey Solomon has shared her heartache over the health struggles of her beloved dog Teddy, who underwent a major change earlier this year.
The Sort Your Life Out presenter had previously asked for prayers from her fans in April when she revealed that Teddy's health had taken a sudden turn for the worse.
She had explained to her followers that she and her husband Joe Swash were informed that their family pet 'might not ever fully recover', after discovering he had a predisposed condition they "had no idea about".

Stacey detailed the incident, explaining that Teddy suddenly lost the use of his back legs. Vets later confirmed that he'd suffered a burst disc and his spine was "really worn" due to a predisposed condition.
After disclosing that Teddy had undergone surgery, Stacey expressed: "We are praying and hoping so hard that he pulls through and that we can care for him in the best way we possibly can to give him the best life he can have.", reports the Manchester Evening News.
"We are all truly devastated. He is the sweetest, most protective, loving dog. He's our family. And far too young to be going through this. We love you Ted. So so much. Pickle Cottage is far too quiet without you. I miss my toilet buddy. Peanut is so sad without his best friend.."
In the weeks following Teddy's operation, Stacey shared that she was performing daily physiotherapy with him and having to express his bladder throughout the day, as he remained on medication and crate rest.
Towards the end of last month, Stacey revealed she was taking Teddy for a check-up, admitting his future remained "uncertain", but had yet to update her followers on the results.
On Tuesday (June 3), Stacey updated her millions of followers on Teddy's condition, describing the news as bittersweet.
Sharing a photo of the adorable dog lying next to her, she said: "Teddy update, so many of you asking. After his vet appointment, it looks likely that Teddy will never get the feeling back in his legs and will need our help with urinating and assisted walks and physio forever.
"But the good news is... the vet was so pleased with how happy Teddy was and how well we are doing his physio and managing his bladder. So me and Joe were really happy with that and felt extremely proud."
The mother-of-five added: "I feel sad for Teddy but I'm also confident that me and Joe can give him the happiest life and all the love he deserves. So this new journey is forever.
"But we love Teddy so much we will just keep going and do our best to find new ways to keep him healthy and happy for as long as we can [face holding back tears emoji]."
This follows the release of Stacey and Joe's BBC One reality series, which gave viewers a glimpse into their family life at Pickle Cottage. The show, 'Stacey And Joe', featured the couple, their children, and pets – including their two dogs, Teddy and Peanut, as well as a number of ducks.

Boots' 'summer holiday' perfume slashed to £10 in big online sale
Boots shoppers are swiftly grabbing 'summer in a bottle' perfumes, now reduced to a mere £10 apiece amid an extensive online clearance. While £10 perfumes may make you think of small, non-branded bottles, these are quite the opposite, as they're large ones from a well-known design house. Available on the Boots website, this fragrance assortment encompasses everything from daily spritzes to more audacious cornerstone scents. And up until the 17th June, they're all discounted, with prices kicking off at £10. One fragrance, Comfy Vibes, originally priced at £23, is now available for only £10 and is attracting glowing testimonials: This shopper remarked: "This scent is the perfect transition perfume from winter to hot weather. It's such a light, fresh scent with a hint of the summer holiday. The perfume strength is strong but not overpowering. The package is so sleek and cute, screaming summer and fun." Adidas describes Comfy Vibes as a soothing and warm fragrance which melds vanilla and mandarin with a splash of orange essential oil, creating a sweet yet appropriately summery aura. It's spot-on for those seeking a daily fragrance or wishing to mix it with something richer for nocturnal escapades. For those pondering Father's Day options, Full Recharge might claim your attention, now available for £16 (down from £23). This concoction marries the earthiness of basil and sage with vivifying cedar lead tones for a scent that evokes athleticism and vitality without excessive piquancy, reports the Manchester Evening News. Housed in eye-catching gradient bottles, the perfumes evoke a summer vibe, with options such as the coastal-inspired Chill Zone and the ocean-hued Energy Drive, now available for £16 and £10, respectively, down from their original £23 price tag. If you're looking for more affordable perfume deals, there are plenty out there - including lots of options for Father's Day. The Perfume Shop often offers decent sales on a wide range of products, from Tommy Hilfiger to Diesel. Superdrug also has some great offers right now. That includes significant discounts on Hugo Boss' Bottled Night, now £52 from £119, and Carolina Herrera's 212 VIP Men Black, which is reduced to £32 from £55. Regarding Adidas' perfumes, reviews highlight their appealing qualities. One reviewer praised Comfy Vibe, saying: "I love this Adidas scent. It's strong, and it lasts the whole day. It's good value for money if you compare it to other expensive brands, and the packaging is cute, too." However, another user noted: "I love how light and pleasant it feels on the skin. However, the downside is that the fragrance doesn't last very long." A third reviewer appreciated the scent, saying: "This scent is the perfect transition perfume from summer to autumn. It's such a warm, cosy scent with a hint of summer. The perfume strength is strong but not overpowering. "The package is so sleek and cute and is autumn and summer merged. I will buy it again." One satisfied customer commented: "I have been using this for a while now, and I am a big fan - it smells so good and is extremely versatile. I find it 100% suitable for everyone as it has an invigorating fresh scent that takes me back to nature and greenery." However, another buyer was less enthusiastic, stating: "It was a lovely smelling spray, but it wasn't strong enough to have people around me notice." In contrast, a third reviewer raved about the product: "This is such an amazing aftershave. It's perfect for my dad! It has a nice, strong scent and is great for use on the go! The smell lasts long and comes in a nice bottle! The price for this is amazing, and I will be purchasing again soon."

During their relationship, Adam was charged with assaulting her and received 120 hours of community service. Natalie later reconciled with him for a brief time as she tried to make it work for the sake of their child Eliza, who they welcomed back in 2010. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast Life With Nat, the actress was joined by her aunt Linny, where she admitted her relationship with her ex "wasn't a happy one". Discussing her parenting, mum-of-two Natalie said: "We don't raise them the same, of course we don't..." She told her aunt: 'It's a cementing of your marriage, or your life... it's everything… but I didn't have that experience. "I was in a relationship, it wasn't a happy one.

They got engaged in 2015 and welcomed their first child Joanie Elizabeth into the world in 2016. Just two months ago, Natalie waved goodbye to Walford as she quit the soap after three decades. Before leaving, Sonia left flowers for her ex-husband Martin (James Bye), who died after a metal beam collapsed on him following a fire at the Queen Vic pub during the soap's 40th anniversary live episode. Sonia was then persuaded to jump into the boat on the back of the trailer to depart Albert Square with Bianca. She was then asked by the neighbours if she would be going to Bali. Sonia replied: "Well yeah, that's where we're going to start off, Bex is going to find us some visas and everything, and then we're just going to wing it." Bianca then handed Sonia her trumpet as she exclaimed: "I've got an idea, look, for old times' sake as we drive off, come on, it'll be a laugh. You can put it in the bin when we get to Stansted." The character was known for her poor trumpet playing, which angered her family and neighbours, during her early days on the soap. Sonia played the instrument as they finally left Walford, driven away by her daughter Bex, as the residents of Albert Square waved them off as Julia's Theme played out.
