Speaking to hosts Sian Welby and Rylan Clark, he said: "I've shared my love for our cat Nala over the years. Sadly, she died yesterday. She was nearly 20 years of age, she was a Maine Coon, which is a very long life for Maine Coon.

"She had a kidney failure and she had a tumour and she was beginning not being able to walk. It was time to say goodbye. It was heartbreaking because we loved her so much. She only brought happiness into our lives."
