He captioned the picture: "Ned today and Nell 7 years ago - same age, same bed, same position in same room."
Monty revealed to his followers that he would be welcoming the puppy in a post to his social media pages last week. He wrote: "On a day when we are sharing a deep sense of sadness and loss, I went to choose the new bright innocent and irresistibly charming member of our family, replacing Nigel. He will be joining us next week. I haven't told Nellie or Patti yet…"

Paying tribute to his "old friend" on social media following his death, Monty revealed that Nigel was "happy, healthy and his usual calm, lovely self" right up until the end.
