Talking through tears the mum-of-two explained the impact the adorable pooch had had on her life revealing that he had been the man in my life.
On introducing her four-legged friend to her husband Nick Feeney – with whom she tied the knot in last year – the presenter confessed that it had been an important milestone in the couples relationship.
Explaining more she said: I was with Jackson longer than my ex-husband. Draw your conclusions! When he [Nick] first came to the door, I was like, I hope they get on.
She continued: Literally, when Nick came in through the door, time stopped and heart eyes came out of Jacksons eyes. Barry White music played. He fell in love with him, Jackson followed Nick around. He died in Nicks arms.
After the show the proud pet parent took to Instagram to make a tribute to her loyal companion.
