KATIE Price has been left devastated after her dog Queenie was killed in a hit and run accident.

The reality star took to Instagram to break the tragic news – revealing she has gone to the police after the driver failed to stop.

Alongside an image of her kissing the German Shepherd, she told fans: “I'm absolutely Devastated heartbroken my faithful loving family dogs life Queenie has been shortened as she was killed by a heartless delivery driver who ran into our dog seeing her struggle and drove off without telling us and left her to die very disappointed a human being can be this heartless !

“Security cameras show this and we have reported to police ! DEVASTATED is a understatement(sic).”

The 39-year-old posted another shot of the stunning pooch and wrote: "I'll miss her so much 😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭"

Katie was given the dog from Kieran Hayler for her 38th birthday in 2016.

She told Loose Women at the time: "We’d been looking for a puppy anyway and Kieran bought it for my birthday. I had to ask him first - I wouldn’t just take it home!"

And explaining her choice of name, she said: "Queenie, to do with The Queen’s birthday, and obviously I have a lot of gay friends, so it all associates."

Katie, who is known for being an animal lover,  was incredibly close to the pup and once even shared a KFC with her.

Sharing a video of them tucking into the delicious fried chicken, she wrote: "Naughty night kfc and now sharing with queenie 🐶"

The death of her dog is the latest bad news for Katie who has had a really difficult past year - after discovering her husband Kieran Hayler had cheated on her and her mother Amy was diagnosed with a terminal lung condition.
