ACTRESS Kym Marsh has been left utterly heartbroken as she confirmed the sad passing of her ‘beautiful boy’ dog.
The former Coronation Street actress shared a sweet snap of her pet pooch, Barney, to Instagram today to announce the sad news.
Kym, 47, confirmed her ‘heart was broken’ in the devastating post.
She said: “Had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy Barney. We will miss you so much mate.
“Best dog ever. My heart is broken.”
Kym did not give any further details about Barney’s tragic passing.
The former singer was flooded with a slew of supportive messages from her followers.
Her BBC Morning Live co-star, vet Dr James Greenwood, wrote to the star: “Sending you so much love darling, it’s the hardest and worst part. You’re an amazing dog-mum and a true animal lover.”
He went onto add: “Sleep well Barney boy, sending all my love xxx.”
Kym went onto thank the vet for “all your support today” in a gushing reply.
She said to James: “Thank you so much James. This is beautiful. Thank you for all your support today too.
“Really needed it. He will be with Oliver now.”
Oliver was a puppy that the star was forced to re-home in 2010 after he did not bond with her other pets.
More fans went onto send their well wishes to that star.
One said: “Oh no, I’m so sorry for your loss! Sending big hugs to you all xx.”

She then deleted all traces of her third husband from social media and ditched her engagement ring.
