Stacey Solomon has taken to Instagram to address a fan after they seemingly spotted the ‘spirit’ of her late dog.
The Loose Women panellist, 32, was left heartbroken following the death of her beloved dog Theo last month.
After her passing, Stacey buried the pup in the garden of her and Joe Swash‘s home – Pickle Cottage.

The star shared the news of Theo’s burial site earlier this week.
At the time, she took a snap of the sentimental spot as she remembered her four-legged friend.
Stacey said: “I put the boys to bed and went for a little walk to go and see Theo.

“She’s resting under the magnolia tree.”
However, one fan went on to spot an unusual dog-like figure in the snap.
They messaged Stacey to suggest that the object could have been Theo’s “spirit”.
The message didn’t go unnoticed with Stacey, who was quick to clear up the confusion.
Taking to her Instagram Story yesterday (January 4), she said: “I was just sitting down reading your messages and one of you wrote to me on my story from last night from after I went to see Theo.”
The star went on to detail the message after the fan noticed “two little feet poking out”.
I do believe her spirit is here at Pickle Cottage
Stacey giggled at the camera and said: “I’m not laughing because I don’t believe that she is here.
“I do believe her spirit is here at Pickle Cottage, but I’m laughing because it freaked me the hell out as I could see the feet too – I was like what the hell is that.”
The mum-of-four then revealed a skeleton figure the family previously used on Halloween.
