John Bishop has announced the heartbreaking news that his pet pig Milo has died. The 56 year old comedian and TV presenter said that Milo was the first rescue animal he and wife Melanie adopted over a decade ago. He went on to describe the pet as the “heartbeat” of their animal family.
John, star of Doctor Who and host of his own ITV show, broke the sad news on his Instagram page on Thursday. He also shared a number of pictures of Milo. He wrote: “Today we lost a friend.
Milo was the first rescue animal @melbish1 adopted when I returned home from a tour to find him in the garden. “Since then he has been the heartbeat of our animal family. I am so grateful that @melbish1 captured me sat with him last weekend, something I would often do until he would get bored of me and move away.” John went on to say Milo ‘wandered wherever he wanted’ and had a special relationship with Mel’s mum, as well as a unique bond with Mel.
He added: “I never ever thought we would have a pig as a pet and I never knew how much I would miss him knowing he won’t be there when I go into the garden. Like all pets he gave so much more than he took. Goodnight Milo - I am going to miss our chats.” Fans and showbiz pals responded to the post offering their condolences.
His wife Melanie commented: "Always my little wandering Prince." Paddy McGuinness replied: "Gutted to hear that pal. My kids loved meeting him. Proper character.” A fan wrote: “I'm so sorry for your loss.
I loved the posts about him. “His fear of the tiles, the love of choccie biscuits and the occasional diva strop. Sleep easy Milo, you will be missed.” It comes months after John announced his family were heartbroken following the death of his mum Kathy.
