Matt Baker had been inundated with support following the death of one of the star's beloved animals.
The former One Show host admitted his heart was broken as he shared the sad news on Instagram on Thursday, with his followers flooding the farmer with well wishes and messages of condolences.
Posting to his Farm On The Hill account - based on the Channel 4 series documenting his family's farming adventures - Matt, 45, shared a collection of snaps of his late dog alongside the sad update.
Captioning the pictures, he told his fans: "So sad, we’ve said Goodbye to Isla, our oldest & smallest cairn at 13yrs. She was sweet natured, kind, tough, fast as lightning, and a patient gentle Mum.
"She was the one with the voice to let us know when they all wanted to be in or be out.. We’ll miss her #cairnterrier #doglovers #friendforlife."
Matt then took to his personal Instagram account to comment underneath the update, writing: "The reason we love dogs so much is the only time they break our hearts is when they leave us."
Steps singer Ian 'H' Watkins was one of the first to send Matt some love, telling the star: "Big hugs."
"I'm so so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a family member, she will never leave your side, or your heart," one of Matt's fans wrote underneath the emotional post.
"So very sorry to hear that. I’m certain she couldn’t have had any better life than with you," another wrote, as a third added: "Think I had the pleasure of meeting her unexpectedly a couple of months back! So sorry for your loss, they are part of the family. sending love xxx."
