Gemma Atkinson has been flooded with support from fans who have said their 'heart breaks' for her and her family. The Hits Radio host announced at the end of June that her beloved pet pooch Norman had passed away.

She announced the news at the end of June, saying: "My beautiful boy Norman has passed away. My heart is broken," alongside a moving video featuring pictures and clips of him from over the years with her and fellow dog Ollie, as well as her fiancé Gorka Marquez and their two children, Mia and Thiago.

Bury-born Gemma went on to pay tribute to her much-loved pet who she said gave her her "first experience of being a mum and having someone other than myself to care for".
