This Morning’s Gyles Brandeth was overcome with emotion as he announced the death of his beloved pet cat.
Appearing on Friday’s (22 August) episode, the 77-year-old donned a cat jumper as he shared news of the “heartbreaking” death of his pet Nala.
With tears in his eyes, Brandeth told hosts Sian Welby and Rylan Clark: “I’ve shared my love for our cat Nala with viewers over the years. She was the neighbour’s cat who came over a few years ago, danced over the garden wall and adopted my wife.”
He said her passing was “heartbreaking because we loved her so much”, adding that it was a struggle for his wife as Nala used to sleep on her stomach.
“I had to spend the whole night on her tummy so that she could go to sleep.”
