Greg James has revealed the 'horrible news' that his beloved dog Barney has died and says he 'can't stop crying'.
The Radio 1 presenter, 40, took to Instagram to share the sad news on Monday night and told his followers he would be missing his show on Tuesday.

Sharing a snap of Barney, Greg penned: 'I'm sorry to bring such horrible news but we had to put our lovely Barn to sleep earlier today. I can't really get my head around it. But he was peaceful, we were with him at home in the garden in the sunshine and I can't stop crying.
'I know how loved this unbelievably daft farty brilliant dog was and I adored sharing him with everyone on here but I hope you understand why comments are off and can I just ask you to not pile in with DMs particularly for Bella for a bit please.
