Gogglebox family favourites the Malone clan have been left devastated after the death of their beloved dog Dave.

The family’s adorable rottweiler became a well-loved member of the Malone family, and was known to millions of viewers as he often appeared on the Channel 4 hit show, tucked up on the famous sofa beside his owners.

On Wednesday, the matriarch of the Malone family, Julie, took to instagram to announce the sad news. Julie shared a heartwarming video and added: “RIP Dave xxx There are no words to describe you ,or how much you meant to us. This was you on Sunday waiting for your Dad to come back and he had only gone out to the car x We are all going to miss you so much.”
