"From the minute he was born he brought nothing but joy to me, and as a winner of BGT millions of others who adored him too.

"No words can express just how much I will miss him.

Pudsey was the first dog to win the talent show in 2012 and had since released a book titled 'Pudsey: My Autobidography' which charted the canine's rise to fame. The pooch also stared in the film 'Pudsey The Dog: The Movie in 2014.'
