James shared the 'horrible news' that Barney, who he shared with wife Bella Mackie, had been peacefully put to sleep at home in the garden on Monday. Becoming emotional on air, James explained his absence, stating he didn't want to talk about it too much to avoid crying, but made a light-hearted reference to Barney being 'with the Queen and Paddington now'. He expressed profound sadness, describing Barney as 'so joyful' and acknowledging that 'the price of love is pain,' while thanking listeners for their outpouring of support.
