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."

Lucy Mecklenburgh puts on a leggy display in a stylish white skirt as she celebrates fiancé Ryan Thomas' birthday at Sexy Fish in Manchester
Lucy Mecklenburgh and fiancé Ryan Thomas looked loved-up as they arrived at Sexy Fish in Manchester on Tuesday to celebrate his 41st birthday. The former TOWIE star, 33, cut a trendy figure in a white and green patterned co-ord set as she walked hand-in-hand with her actor partner. Lucy put on a leggy display in the mini skirt, which she wore tucked into a black plunging blouse and layered over a matching blazer. She elevated her frame in a pair of black heels and toted her belongings in a matching clutch. Styling her long brunette tresses in loose waves, the reality star accessorised her ensemble with a pair of sunglasses and chunky gold earrings. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meanwhile, Ryan looked dapper in a fitted white T-shirt which he paired with beige trousers and matching trainers. The couple - who are parents to son Roman, five, and daughter Lilah, three - looked happier than ever as they celebrated Ryan's special day. Coronation Street star Ryan is also a proud father to actress daughter Scarlett, 16, from a previous relationship with Tina O'Brien. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional weeks of her life'. She was overcome with emotion as she Ryan and their kids packed up their 'memory filled' family home ahead of their move to a new property in Manchester. Lucy explained she'd bought the house as a single woman 11 years ago, but now the family needed more space. As photos were taken down from the walls of her daughter's bedroom and furniture packed away, the former TOWIE star sobbed saying she never expected the process to be such an emotional one. She said: 'One of the most emotional weeks of my life, I really didn't expect to get so emotional but I moved out of my home of 11-years this week. That's how we spent out half term, actually the kids had the best time'. The celebrations come after Lucy broke down in tears earlier this year as she took to TikTok to document 'one of the most emotional week of her life' 'We had mixed emotions because we outgrew this house so long ago, we've made the big move to Manchester and we're really happy. But there are so many memories I have hung onto in this house'. 'I went from being single, my first big renovation project, it was my first real home since moving out of my parents I guess. I brought my babies back from hospital here and honestly there's something about that, that I could never get rid of this house,'. Lucy continued: 'So we just made it work over the years, but it definitely wasn't big enough, we didn't have enough bedrooms, enough storage'. She went on to say that despite her tears the family had definitely made the right decision and it was 'time to go'. 'Seeing the rooms empty, is just the bit that made me cry,' she added.

5 times Stirling and Stirlingshire have featured on property TV shows
A Bridge of Allan family recently appeared on Location, Location, Location. It's not the first time Stirlingshire has featured on a property television show; from Scotland's Home of the Year to Love It or List It, viewers love a peek inside other people's homes. From hunting for the perfect home to renovating run-down rooms – here are five times Stirling or Stirlingshire has featured on property TV shows. A mother and daughter enlisted the help of Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp on Location, Location, Location to find their dream home in Stirling. The Channel 4 show, featuring Lorraine Macleod and Emma Carman, aired in June 2025. The pair, who were living with Lorraine's parents, viewed four homes within their budget of £275,000. However, despite offering well above the asking price for a cottage in Torbrex, Lorraine and Emma lost out on the property. Luckily, they found their dream three-bedroom townhouse in Bridge of Allan for £255,000 after the show. Scotland's Home of the Year has featured several Stirlingshire homes since it first aired in 2019. This year, a steading conversion in Deanston was part of the BBC show. The Dairy, owned by Mhairi and Andrew Wilson since 2023, boasts impressive views over the Trossachs. In 2024, a mill conversion near Dunblane was part of the series. The 200-year-old building had been abandoned for 25 years before it was lovingly restored by Lee and Dawn Collins. Plus, a Georgian renovation in rural Killearn was crowned the winner in 2021. Judges loved The Moss' 'dreamy pink interior' which included a pink Aga cooker in the kitchen. TV presenter Kaye Adams appeared on a celebrity edition of Escape to the Country last year. The Loose Women presenter viewed four properties in Stirlingshire to find a three-bedroom home with open plan living, a garden and space to record her podcast. Kaye, who had a budget of £850,000, said her favourite house looked over Loch Ard. An episode of Homes Under the Hammer featured a Stirling flat last year. A Musical Sink saw host Martel Maxwell, from Dundee, follow Ross as he purchased a damp run-down property in the city centre. He bought the two to three-bedroom flat prior to auction for £135,000 and carried out a five-month renovation to restore it to its former glory. Ross invested £35,000 into the works and turned the property into a short-term let. A property expert valued it as worth £180,000 to £200,000 – a profit of up to £30,000. Kirstie and Phil's Love It or List It has also had a Stirlingshire episode. In series two, the hosts set out to help Karyn and Duncan in the Carron Valley. The couple had been arguing for two years over what to do about their three-bed rural semi. Phil took Karyn and Duncan to view properties in Fife, Strathyre and Sauchie, while Kirstie inspired a £40,000 upgrade. At the end of the 2016 episode, they decided to keep the property.

Hollyoaks star helping to rehome dog from Many Tears Rescue
Malique Thompson-Dwyer, best known for his role as Prince McQueen on Channel 4's Hollyoaks, has joined the search to find a special home for Promise, a long-term resident at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli. Promise, described by the rescue as a "forever pup," has complex needs and has not received a single rehoming enquiry despite months in care. Mr Thompson-Dwyer said: "I fell for the little guy immediately and was so tempted to apply to adopt him myself, but he needs a home where someone can devote more of their time to him than I can. "Even my mum was trying to work out a way so we could as a family adopt him. "If I can help Sylvia find him the special home he deserves though, I will be really pleased." Promise has been described as a 'forever pup' (Image: Many Tears Animal Rescue) The actor, who has rescue dogs himself, became aware of Promise's situation through a mutual friend and met Many Tears founder Sylvia Vanatta earlier this year. Many Tears Animal Rescue primarily takes in ex-breeding dogs that have never experienced life in a home or known human kindness. Since its founding, the rescue has rehomed nearly 40,000 dogs. Ms Vanatta said: "I called him Promise as I made a promise to him that I would never give up on him. "On arrival he showed obvious signs of complex needs. "He had no spatial awareness, had very little control of his body, and was walking into everything. "He didn't respond to human attention at all. "He also didn't sniff, which is unheard of; it was as if his brain did not work like any other dog we had known." Despite his challenges, Promise has made remarkable progress with the help of the rescue's dedicated staff. Ms Vanatta said: "Through the sheer dedication of the staff here at the rescue, he now responds to his name, runs around without falling down, plays with a ball, and is learning 'how to be a dog'. "He's adorable. "It's very likely that he will always be pup-like, which means he needs a very special person to watch out for him on his behalf. "For example, he doesn't recognise dangers. "It will be like dealing with a toddler." Hollyoaks star Malique Thompson-Dwyer is hoping to help Promise find his forever home (Image: Many Tears Animal Rescue) Mr Thompson-Dwyer hopes his involvement will help find Promise the right home. He said: "The search for the perfect owner starts here." He has recorded a video about Promise that has been shared on social media by both himself and the charity. Mr Thompson-Dwyer said: "Sylvia has invited me down to the charity again. "She is a remarkable woman and the work the charity does is equally as remarkable." The actor first gained recognition on CBBC's The Dumping Ground and has since appeared in Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! He was the youngest contestant in the history of the latter show at the time, taking part at just 20 years old. Anyone who believes they could offer Promise, or another dog at the rescue, a loving home is encouraged to visit for more information.
