Lauren Phillips reveals she suffered a devastating family tragedy: 'You were the best'
Lauren Phillips has revealed she has had to say goodbye to a beloved member of her family.
The radio presenter, 41, shared on Instagram on Monday that her dog Roxy had died.
The Nova star posted a sweet photo of her beloved dog lying down on a beanbag in their family home.
'Bye bye Roxy Girl. Have fun chasing balls in the big dog park in the sky,' she wrote.

The sad news comes after Lauren treated fans to a trip down memory lane last month when she tried on her old school uniform.
The Nova 100 host shared a video of herself modelling the purple ensemble, which consisted of a short pleated skirt, shirt and matching blazer.
'Screaming, it actually fits - just,' an amazed Lauren said in the caption, adding, 'Loving myself sick.'
The Jase & Lauren show star revealed she had been a prefect and middle school house captain at her old school Wesley College in the Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley.
Posting an image of the blazer and her badges, Lauren said her mother had kept the uniform after 20 years.
Lauren's nostalgic post comes amid a planned stunt by the Nova breakfast team to 'relive' their high school years.
Nova announced co-host Clint Stanaway will join Lauren and Jason 'Jase' Hawkins as they broadcast their show from a bus travelling the Glenn Waverley area.
Along the way, the team planned to stop at Clint's old school Glen Waverley High and Lauren's Wesley College.
It continues a 'nostalgic kick' by the Nova breakfast team that began in February when the Jase and Lauren Show Instagram account shared a throwback snap of Lauren.
Paying tribute to all the children starting school in 2025, the photo showed the radio star looking unrecognisable in junior school at Wesley.
The photo showed Lauren flashing the camera quite the cheeky grin as she posed in her school uniform.
The future radio star looked cute-as-a-button in the snap, which also showed her adding a pop of colour to her uniform with a purple scrunchie.
It wasn't just Lauren that was given the throwback treatment either, with the account also sharing adorable childhood photos of co-hosts Jase Hawkins and Clint Stanaway.

In a heartwarming series of photos shared with his 380,000 followers on Tuesday, Jai is seen cradling his newborn daughter with pure adoration. 'Everyone meet Aaliyah,' he began alongside the post.

Love Island's Georgia Hassarati added: 'So perfect ❤️ congratulations Jai,' and MAFS groom Al Perkins commented, 'Praise God! Congratulations man!' Though Jai has kept most of his relationship with girlfriend Bec Donaghy out of the spotlight in recent years, the emotional post marks a major new chapter for the singer who shot to fame in 2013. It is not known exactly how long Jai and Bec have been dating but they started featuring on each other's Instagram pages in 2023. They went Instagram official in July 2023 with a cosy photograph of them packing on the PDA, which was shared to Bec's account. Jai captured Australians' hearts when he rose to fame on The X Factor in 2013, when he earned the nickname of 'Aussie Bieber'. He impressed with his audition, where he sang Different Worlds by Jes Hudak and his own original song Don't Let Me Go. He eventually placed third on the fifth season of The X Factor Australia and his debut single Your Eyes peaked at number six on the ARIA Singles Chart. In 2016, he moved away from singing and went on to pursue a television career, making his acting debut on Neighbours as Angus Beaumont-Hannay. He portrayed the son of Sarah Beaumont and Peter Hannay for around 50 episodes before announcing he was relocating to Hollywood. He signed with the powerful US talent company Creative Artists Agency and spent some time in Africa and South America before returning to Australia. Since relocating back Down Under, Jai returned to screens in Stan drama Critical Incident.

Andy Lee's gross laundry admission divides Aussies: 'Unlimited wears'
Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed. In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly 'until soiled' with stains. 'Bec said to me this morning, didn't you wear those pants yesterday? I said yes,' Andy told his co-host. Andy, 43, strongly disagreed with his fiancée Rebecca Harding on her pro one-wear-one-wash laundry stance. 'PANTS?! 'Pants are unlimited,' Hamish Blake replied in shock.

Comedians Hamish & Andy have divided Aussies with a controversial take on how often they believe different items of dirty laundry actually need to be washed In a recent podcast episode, Andy Lee disgusted fans with his bold admission about re-wearing used socks across multiple days and wearing pants and shorts repeatedly 'until soiled' with stains Feeling emboldened by Hamish's support, Andy suggested the pair set down their own laundry guidelines for each common piece of clothing. 'I would like us to establish what is the given amount of days' wear per item,' Andy said. The pair then devised their own set of 're-wear rules'. T-shirts can be worn for 'a day and a half,' Andy agreed after first suggesting two days. 'I don't think you can do two full days,' Hamish countered, considering the warm Australian climate. 'One day for undies, and you can add a night if you sleep in them also,' Hamish said. 'One plus a night because I do sleep in undies.' Shorts and jumpers can be worn an 'unlimited' number of times, according to the duo, provided they don't get soiled by food or coffee stains. According to Hamish & Andy, T-shirts can be worn for 1.5 days The podcast quickly went viral on social media, with fans and followers divided on the rules 'If you can look after them, you can keep them. It's like a puppy,' Hamish said. Jumpers could go an entire winter season without a wash, they argued, with proper care. 'Again, until soiled,' Andy said. Perhaps the most controversial laundry rule in the short video, which quickly went viral on TikTok, is Andy's opinion on socks. 'Socks can also be worn for a day-and-a-half,' he said, arguing that dirty pairs of socks can be re-worn for exercise because they are only going to get dirtier. 'If I'm going for a run, I prefer to use a soiled sock,' Andy said. 'It's only going to have a 30-minute life out in the wild. So why not use yesterday's sock?' Perhaps the most contentious point in this discussion is Hamish referring to the shoe as a 'pristine environment' that should prevent clean socks from dirtying. 'UNTIL SOILED?' one person asked with a series of crying emojis on TikTok. 'As soon as something has been worn on public transport or in an environment that I don't control, it's time for a wash,' one user commented. 'Bras: 1-30 years,' US comedian Nikki Glaser said. 'Depends where you live. In Melbourne undies = 1.5 days… in Darwin, undies = 1.5 hours,' another pointed out.
