Posting a sweet snap of Belle’s treasured cuddly toy, Holly begged for help from her online fan base.

Help... we’ve had that nightmare moment where Belle has lost her favourite ‘Ted’ ... He is an old @arsenal teddy and had an Arsenal badge with a year on his foot... I wish I had a better photo!

I’ve searched everywhere and also online for a replacement... can anyone help?

Attempting to figure out a solution to her furry problem, Holly went on, ‘Have you seen him, Have you got the same bear at home that you may not need anymore, can I buy a replacement somewhere? ... poor Belle is so sad to loose her best friend ...😥
