Clair revealed the sad news on social media

EastEnders star Clair Norris, who plays Bernadette Taylor, has announced her dog Lucie has died.

The actress posted the sad news to her Instagram, sharing some photos of Lucie and herself.

She captioned the post: “My little Lucie Locket 06.04.21.

“11 and a half years you’ve watched me grow from a young girl to a woman, being by my side every step of the way.

“We made a heart breaking decision, but we know it’s time for you to run free, chasing endless butterflies and pigeons and lots of treats.

“I miss you already.”

Later Mitch found what appeared to be a stray dog in Albert Square. Bailey and Mitch managed to convince Karen to let them keep the dog, who they named Banjo.

However earlier this week, Bernie noticed a girl on the Square and went to talk to her. But she soon noticed she was handing out posters for a missing dog named Ziggy.

She recognised the dog as Banjo and after speaking to her family, they decided Bernie would try and convince Molly that Ziggy wasn’t in Walford.

Later Bernie and Molly went for a drink and she told her she saw someone take Ziggy. However Molly could tell she was lying and thought Bernie made it up just to ask her for a drink.

Will Bernie come clean about where Ziggy really is?
