TV personality and criminal barrister Rob Rinder has announced the death of his dog Rocco, who “blessed” him with a “lifetime of loyalty and limitless joy”.

The 44-year-old, who is set to take over as the new co-presenter of BBC Two’s Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby with Monica Galetti, shared an image of the spotted white and brown French bulldog as a puppy, and another of the pair sleeping on the sofa.
