Nicky revealed Misty had died in a tear-jerking post that he shared on Twitter as last night’s Long Lost Family aired.
Alongside a selfie with his terrier, the presenter wrote: “Our beautiful girl Misty went to sleep forever today. We knew it would be her last night. She was on her bed by the fire. It was a good death. She was nearly 14. Misty gave us unending joy and love.
“She gave us her daughter Maisie and was the most bewitching and beautiful little soul. We feel utterly desolate. We were all there. Touching and stroking her to her last breath. Misty Mae, we will love you forever. Our hearts are broken but we were so lucky. So blessed.”
Nicky has two other dogs – Misty’s daughter Masie and a labrador named Marvel.
