Gemma Owen has asked her fans to 'respect my privacy' as she shared news of a devastating loss. The Love Island star, who appeared on the 2022 series, took to Instagram to tell her followers of her heartache following the death of her beloved horse.
The heartbroken dressage rider posted a video filled with pictures and clips of herself alongside Sirius who she says she lost 'suddenly' on Friday (February 2). "On Friday we lost my horse of a lifetime due to a sudden and severe illness," she started the caption of her post with a broken heart emoji.
Sirius, also known as Siz, was 17. "Words can’t describe how much this horse meant to me and my family, he was truly one in a million. Everyone who met Siz will know how amazing and caring his temperament was. He was taken far too soon, he has left us all heartbroken and in complete shock," Gemma went on to share.
