Ulrika Jonsson has lost her second dog in three months, as she revealed her beloved pooch Fella has died.
The TV presenter, 53, told her social media followers the bulldog died in his sleep while living in another household.
What did Ulrika Jonsson share about her dog Fella?
Ulrika shared a string of pictures of Fella on Instagram and told fans she felt “broken” at losing him.
Fella, whom she took in two years ago after a charity rescued him, had been living with a “foster mummy” as one of her other dogs, Leo, had developed “issues” with him.

She wrote in the post’s caption: “My beloved Fella passed away in his sleep this morning. Many of you will know he came to me July 2019 as a handsome nine-year-old in very bad shape.
“The glorious @theedwardfoundation saved him and I cared for and loved him. He spent the last two and a half months with foster mummy Clare, as Leo developed issues with Fella.
“He would have been 11 in June and oddly, he came through very vividly in my thoughts yesterday.”
