‘Had to say goodbye to my Bosie a few weeks ago.’ Tony wrote. ‘Been a bit too heartbroken to share till now. He’s always featured very heavily on my Insta posts as you know. Saddest day of my life and I’ll miss him terribly.’
‘But now thanks to the brilliantly talented brother of my telly sister Jodie, Marko Prenger at @handofhopetattoo, Bosie will now walk with me everywhere, sitting just above my ankle, forever. Thank you Marko. This made me feel better more than you know.
