Fearne wrote: Yesterday I said goodbye to Keloy after 21 years. I had been dreading this but knew it was on the cards.

"Keloy wasn’t just a pet, she was a friend and a family member. She lived a life of true service, giving each of us unwavering love, comfort and loyalty.

She continued: "I got Keloy (along with my other late cat Lula) from @themayhew twenty one years ago and brought her back to my little house in Harrow.

"Since then we moved all over London together. She sat by my side through the best and worst times and gave me a consistency I lacked elsewhere.

"It’s impossible to explain what she meant to me and our family on a tiny square on social media. The love was too big and bold. I will miss looking into her big green eyes and snuggling up to her on the sofa. She was a wise and beautiful soul.

"I know she was ready to go. There was a contentment about her in the final weeks. I am mostly just grateful I had so long with her.

Fearne ended the emotional tribute with: "Love you my angel. "

The Happy Place podcast host shared several photos of her late pet, including her with her husband Jesse Wood.

In December last year, Fearne was also devastated by the death of her other cat, Lula.

She adopted Lula at the same time as Keloy.

She wrote the day after she passed away: "Yesterday I said goodbye to my best mate of twenty years,’ she wrote on Instagram.

"I’m heart broken and still in shock that she’s gone.

"Lula saw me at my best and worst and always without judgement. She brought unbelievable amounts of love into my life and for that I will be forever grateful.

"It feels like the end of an era as I literally can’t remember a time before she was in my world."
