Matt Baker has been flooded with support after sharing his heartbreak after his beloved dog died. The former The One Show host took to Instagram on Thursday (April 13) to share that his 'sweet natured' pooch Isla had devastatingly passed away.
The sad announcement was made via his Farm On The Hill Instagram page, which is based on the Channel 4 series documenting his family's farming life. The page shared an array of snaps of the beloved pet pooch alongside an emotional tribute including how much he would miss her in an accompanying caption.
Announcing Isla's death, they wrote: "So sad, we've said Goodbye to Isla, our oldest & smallest cairn at 13yrs. She was sweet natured, kind, tough, fast as lightning, and a patient gentle Mum. She was the one with the voice to let us know when they all wanted to be in or be out.."
