It's been a sad weekend for animal lover Geri after she revealed that her beloved pet dog Hugo passed away.

Geri Horner posted a moving tribute to the family pooch on Instagram, sharing a video of some of her favourite moments with Hugo, as well as an adorable picture of his sweet face.

In the video, Geri tells Hugo she loves him as he gives her his paw on demand. The pooch also nuzzled into Geri's face while softly growling at her, which she explained was 'affectionate'.

The Spice Girl captioned the snap, 'Goodbye Hugo my special friend - sadly past away to Doggie Heaven.'
