Stacey Solomon broke down in tears as she revealed devastating news about her dog Teddy on BBC One’s Stacey and Joe.
Stacey’s hit series follows her husband Joe Swash and their kids as they navigate life at Pickle Cottage.
During Tuesday’s episode, which was filmed around Easter this year, Stacey rushed their pet dog Teddy to the vet after he lost the ability to walk.
As Joe and son Zachary arrived, she left in tears and embraced Joe, telling him: ‘It’s not that good. You come in and speak to her. I feel really bad.’
She sobbed: ‘I don’t know what to do because you can see all his discs are gone, they’ve been bad – it must be hereditary. I don’t know what to do.’
Joe later told the camera: ‘At the moment, there’s a 70% chance that he’ll never be able to use his legs again. He’s slipped a disc in his back which is crushing his spinal cord which is making him paralysed.

‘Is it fair putting him through an operation with such little chance of recovery? But then, he’s part of our family.’
The couple ultimately signed Teddy up for surgery and left him overnight, but continued to get upset on the car journey home.
Stacey revealed the dog’s illness was caused by a predisposed condition the family were not aware of and explained that the next few weeks were crucial for Teddy – who ‘may not fully recover’ even if he survives.
Ringing her sister Gemma, Stacey explained: ‘He’s only got a 30% chance of recovery. She didn’t say there’s 0% chance so what do you do? You have to give it a go, don’t you?’
‘He has to stay with them until at least Tuesday and that’s if he makes it and the spinal cord doesn’t die,’ she added, while Gemma tried to comfort her.
‘I’ve got to work out what I’m going to say to them,’ Stacey said, referring to her kids. ‘Because he might not come home, Gem.’
Since then, Stacey has kept her Instagram followers updated on Teddy’s recovery, and in July, she revealed that Teddy is now in a wheelchair.
She shared that her adorable pooch is back walking around after they bought him some wheels to assist his back two legs.

She explained in a heartfelt Instagram post that the hound was nervous to begin with but has now settled into to his new way of life.
Alongside the clip, she penned: ‘Our Darling Teddy. Has his wheels. We have spent the last few days trying to teach teddy a new way of getting around & he’s finally learning to love his wheels.
‘He was very nervous at first but seeing him today walking around with peanut again was so special. We have spoken to our vet & have bought teddy some wheels. If we are doing anything wrong please be kind.
‘This is a totally new journey for us & we are doing our best to give teddy the best life he can possibly have so just let us know if you have any tips.
‘Teddy you’ve been such an amazing boy. We know your whole world has turned upside down, but you’ve been so calm and patient and we hope we are giving you the second chance that you deserve. To the moon & back Teddy.’
The Solomon family adopted Teddy back in 2022 following the death of their previous dog Theodore.
Stacey explained that Teddy’s name was a tribute to his predecessor.
She said: ‘We called him Teddy because Teddy can be short for Theodore, so we thought it was a special tribute to Theo.’

Stacey added: ‘We love you Ted. So so much. Pickle Cottage is far too quiet without you. I miss my toilet buddy. Peanut is so sad without his best friend.’
Stacey previously explained that she believes Teddy was put up for adoption by his breeder because of his small size for a working spaniel.
She said at the time: ‘We didn’t pick him out, but we said we would take any dog suitable for young children, and another dog.
‘We didn’t mind what breed, colour, coat anything as long as he would be happy and it was right. And along came Teddy.’
In previous snaps shared by Stacey, Teddy could be seen with a bandage around one of his legs.
There were also two catheters sticking out of Teddy’s leg, suggesting at the time that his treatment was ongoing.
