EastEnders star 'heartbroken' as beloved pet is knocked down and killed

In a heartfelt Instagram post, EastEnders star James Farrar has revealed his pet cat was recently knocked down and killed.

The actor, who plays Zack Hudson in the BBC One soap, told his followers the family’s cat, Duchess, was rescued from Wales 7 years ago.

He went on to write: ‘She has brought @alirofffarrar and the rest of us so much joy. She’d lay on Ali’s belly through the pregnancy – she loved our Summer so much, and baby Summer loved her.’

Confirming the sad news, he added: ‘To all you animal lovers our there – squeeze your pets closer tonight. Duch was knocked down and killed over the weekend. Neither of us had ever been heartbroken – yet here we are.

‘You were part of our family. Sleep sound and see you in heaven sweetheart.’

The actor then shared a variety of pictures of their beloved cat – who will certainly be very missed.

James has played the role of Zack since March last year.

Sister to Sharon (Letitia Dean), Zack’s relationship with Nancy (Maddy Hill) recently broke down after he slept with Sam Mitchell (Kim Medcalf).

Due to everything Nancy was going through at the time with her alcoholic mother, Linda (Kellie Bright), Zack’s betrayal was the catalyst for her realising she needs to prioritise herself – so she left Walford for a new life.
