BBC presenter Nicky Campbell cried and admitted his family is “broken” following the death of their pet dog, Maxwell.

The broadcaster described the 16-year-old’s final moments and revealed how he was given sausages and sirloin steak, before slipping away with his family by his side.

The 62-year-old also spoke to BBC 5 Live listeners about how his dog had changed his life during his show on Thursday (21 March).

He said: “We are so lucky to have found that little, gentle, wonderful soul in this universe.”

“He was an extraordinary, wonderful dog.”
