Stacey Solomon has shared the adorable meaning behind her new adopted dog's name.
The star got a new dog this week after her previous family dog Theo died just two weeks ago.
The 32 year old revealed their new cocker spaniel which they've named Teddy to keep their other dog Peanut company.
She took to social media to share the reason as to why they chose the name Teddy and the hidden tribute to their pet Theo.
Stacey posted a sweet photo to her Instagram story where she said it's short for Theodore.
She wrote: "We called him teddy because Teddy can be short for 'Theodore' so we thought it was a special tribute to Theo."
Stacey explained that she'd been getting a lot of questions about the new addition to her family, including how old he is and what breed he is.
The new puppy is just six months old and is a working cocker spaniel, according to the mum of four.
She revealed they didn't pick him out but instead asked what dog would be most suitable for them.
Stacey said: "We didn't pick him out but we said we would take any dog suitable for young children and another dog. We didn't mind what breed, colour, coat anything as long as he would be happy and it was right. And along came Teddy."
During the same story, she explained that Teddy wasn't wanted by the original owner anymore due to being much smaller than his brothers and sisters.
The singer added: "I have no idea why or how anyone could not want him or he wouldn't be 'good' enough. But apparently he is no where near the size he should be for his breed and that was one of the main reasons why he wasn't kept by the breeder."
The family rescued the dog and revealed the happy news on social media on Monday evening to share the good news.
Stacey went on to say that Teddy is the one rescuing the family as they continue to mourn Theo, who died just two weeks ago.
Stacey had Theo for more than 11 years before she died and since then the family have missed having a second dog in the house.
At the time she said: "Welcome Home Teddy. Last night we rescued a dog. But today I’m not sure who has rescued who.
"We miss you so much Theo. I hope you’re looking down from heaven smiling, knowing that peanut will no longer be so very lonely and that a doggy who really needed a family now has one. To the moon and back, always."
Fans were excited for the celeb to get another dog as they commented on the sweet snap.
One person wrote: "The perfect match!! As if he was made for you!"
While another added: "Oh my gosh Handsomes enjoy your forever home Teddy."
