The panicked star posted video from her drive of her dog wandering on the road, before being picked up and put in a van in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

The 39-year-old posted on social media: "This white van took our dog please contact if you are the man or know the man please please share this 🙏🙏🙏❤️."

However, it seems the bloke may have been taking Buzz for his own safety as she later posted that he had been returned.

Tanya shared a picture of the dog slumped on the floor looking sleepy, writing: "It’s hard work being taken."

Around an hour earlier, the upset star had told her followers: "Hi everyone. We've lost our dog, Buzz. If anyone sees him in the Wilmslow area, will you DM me?"

She later added: "We've got an update on Buzz. On our cameras it shows someone putting Buzz into a white building van. Does anyone know anyone in a white building van?"

A video was then posted of a large search party out on the road looking for the missing dog.

But the story had a happy ending, with the star sharing a video of Buzz running around in their garden again being cheered by her children.
