Love Island lothario Stephen Bear has been left inconsolable, after discovering his new puppy dead.

The TV star, 28, had recently been gushing over his new puppy, Wolverine, and was planning – as he declared on social media just days ago – to get him a little friend, aptly named Logan.

In fact, he adored his pooch so much he even got his name tattooed on his neck, which he proudly showed off to his 1.3 million followers.

Stephen, affectionately known as Bear from his TV stints, made the sad announcement to his Instagram followers, describing how devastated and upset he was to find Wolverine.

‘In life nothing really upsets me. But to find my wolverine this morning dead in his blanket has left me broken. I will be off social media for a few days. R.I.P my boy. I love you’.

Bear had only got the pup on 9 April, naming him ‘Wolverine Ellie Lightening Bear’ and got his neck tat just four weeks later.

His Instagram is littered with videos and pictures of himself and his little buddy, with comments like ‘this is too sad rip’, ‘Literally crying oh my god how sad x’, and ‘Rip little fella’.
