Mark Owen's kitten has died despite his wife's attempts to give the animal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The Take That singer and his family had recently adopted a litter of kittens but his wife Emma Owen updated fans on Instagram that one of them had sadly died.
In a video, Emma admitted that she was "heartbroken" over the passing of one of the litter.

She said: "Yesterday I went to feed them at 3am and one of the little ones didn't look so good. they were quite limp and they were dying.
"I tried to give them CPR - little kitten CPR, there's a special way to do it. They started breathing again, we rushed them to urgent care at the vets - my little 11 year old in tow - but they didn't make it.
"The other two weren't looking too good the next day. We took them back to the rescue centre to be checked on and looked after."
The kitten – who was called Louis – was called "very traumatic" by Emma and she said that the incident "triggered a deeper wound inside of me".
She also compared looking after the kitten to her two elder children who are now teenagers: "The intimate act of bottle feeding through the night obviously took me back to when I was bottle feeding my babies.
"Next year, I have a 16 and an 18-year-old and I'm getting very close to them flying the nest, and I think most mothers are not in their head that has teenagers that are soon to fly the nest."
Emma, who is also a self-described energy coach, met the Take That singer in 2004 when she was still working as an actor.
They married in 2009 but separated a year later after Mark admitted to having a drinking problem and multiple affairs throughout the relationship.
They later reconciled and have three children together.
