Gogglebox's Malone family heartbroken as they announce devastating death
Gogglebox stars the Malones have left fans devastated after announcing the death of their show-regular dog Bob.
Sharing some videos and pictures of their beloved pet, dad Shaun wrote: "Today is the day we had to say goodbye to big bob, absolute great dog like a big cuddly bear."
The Rottweiler was a fixture on the C4 show, and was often seen curled up on the sofa with his head in Shaun's lap as he reviewed the weeks' TV with his family.
It's more heartache for Tom Sr, Julie, Shaun and Tom Jr after the death of their other dog Dave back in October 2023. The Manchester-based Channel 4 favourites also lost boxer Frank back in 2018
They wrote at the time: "RIP Dave xxx There are no words to describe you, or how much you meant to us. This was you on Sunday waiting for your Dad to come back and he had only gone out to the car x We are all going to miss you so much."
