She added a lengthy caption that read: ‘I don’t want to dwell on the last couple of weeks but what I do want to say is thank you.

‘Thank you to every single person that sent me such thoughtful messages asking me how I am and making sure I’m okay, it has meant the world to me.

‘I’ve enjoyed a much needed break from my phone but I’m back now and ready to get stuck into some really exciting things I have coming up.’

Addressing his sudden death, Molly-Mae said: ‘Whilst we completely understand everyone’s opinions about being shipped over from Russia, what you need to understand is that is not what made him die.

‘He was going to die regardless. The autopsy results showed his skull wasn’t fully developed and part of his brain was exposed. He didn’t have a single white blood cell in his body.

‘If we had the time again we would have got a dog from the UK or got a rescue dog from the UK.’ 

'He didn't have a single white blood cell in his body': Molly-Mae recently addressed the backlash from importing Mr Chai from another country and said: 'If we had the time again we would have got a dog from the UK or got a rescue dog from the UK.'

A representative of Molly-Mae and Tommy confirmed Mr Chai had died of ‘a seizure and neurological issues.’ 

A statement read: ‘Chai died of a seizure and neurological issues. This probably relating to the puppies skull not being fully formed (see note on anterior fontanelle below).

‘Chai passed away with a number of health issues outlined below and the puppy clearly was not at full health and potentially had been carrying an infection and fighting it for some time before reaching Molly and Tommy.’

It then listed a number of ailments the dog suffered from, including: ‘no white blood cells present in blood, anterior fontanelle not completely ossified, body condition 3/5, liver congested, spleen enlarged congested, adrenal glands enlarged, kidneys congested, colon congested, lungs congested and Heart right ventricle dilated.’ 

Tough times: Mr Chai's death prompted several stars to speak up about the importance of researching when buying a dog (they set up an Instagram account for him last month)
