LORRAINE KELLY

As well as being a doting dog mum to border terrier Angus, TV's Lorraine is often seen cuddling daughter Rosie's sausage dog, Ruby. Luckily for Lorraine, 63, the two pups are the best of friends and both often appear on her show. Who said you shouldn't work with animals?

RUTH LANGSFORD AND EAMONN HOLMES

V veterans Ruth and Eamonn share a son, Jack, 21, but the couple have another well-loved family member, rescue dog Maggie, who they have had for 12 years. Ruth, 62, gushed, 'We love her so much. You come home and you've had a tough day... and I see her tail going.' Meanwhile, 63-year-old Eamonn, who has recently suffered from health issues, described Maggie as 'better than medicine'.
