“I’m not sure who has rescued who.”

Stacey Solomon and her family have welcomed a fluffy new member into their home.

The TV presenter confirmed she rescued a dog last night.

And he is as cute as a button.

Stacey decided to call their new member Teddy.

Alongside a group of photos of Teddy, the mum said she hopes her late dog Theo is “looking down from heaven smiling”.

“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.”

The Loose Women star explained that they couldn’t leave without Teddy when they met him last night.

“He was bread by somebody who was breeding dogs for sale and he wasn’t good enough for sale so they got rid of him,” she revealed.

“When we learned about him and then saw Peanut’s reaction to him there was no doubt in our mind that he was coming home,” Stacey continued.

“He wasn’t good enough for sale so they got rid of him”

“I didn’t know we would be able to bring him home straight away so we were a little unprepared. We’ve spent last night and today settling him in and getting him all sorted.”

“As soon as he came home it was like he’d never not been here.”

She said her other dog Peanut has been following Teddy around like his shadow.

Last December, Stacey lost her dog, Theo, after 11 years.

“I really believe she’d be so happy to see Peanut wagging his tail again. And to know a doggy who needed a home is with us.”

The mum-of-four said her “gut still hurts” when she thinks of Theo. However, she fully believes this was the best choice for her family.

“How anyone could not want you is just impossible to believe,” she wrote alongside a photo of Teddy sleeping.

“But their loss is our huge gain. Everything happens for a reason. We can’t wait to love you forever and ever,” she gushed.
