Leigh-Anne Pinnock has revealed she is taking a break after her dogs died within weeks of each other.

The Little Mix star, 33, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share that she would be absent from social media as she ‘feels every emotion’.

The Sun reported that Leigh-Anne was recently left devastated after both of her dogs died, with Harvey tragically pᴀssing before her holiday to Brazil after a cancer battle before Kryo died shortly after following emergency surgery.

She shared sweet snaps of her with her twin daughters, who she welcomed with husband Andre Gray, as she made the candid confession.

‘Life is very much lifing right now so it made sense to sod off for a bit… giving myself time and space and just feeling every emotion,’ Leigh-Anne wrote. 

‘Sometimes you feel like you have to always be the strong and positive one to hold everything together, but it can be exhausting.

‘Life sometimes gets you in a chokehold, it’s ok to have low days, be down and just feel.’

‘Lots of love & strength to you darling ❤️,’ commented Kate Ferdinand, while Tulisa Contostavlos – who mentored Leigh-Anne on The X Factor – sent love hearts. 

Leigh-Anne came under fire in 2019 for adopting dogs with cut ears, a procedure banned in the United Kingdom.

The pair are among a host of stars to show off dogs who have been cropped, an ancient procedure that involves shaping the ear into an erect point, with millions of fans on social media platforms such as Instagram.

Ear cropping, which dates back thousands of years, was originally performed on working dogs to prevent risk of ear infection and other potential health risks, but has also been adopted by owners who breed the animal specifically for hunting and dog-fighting.

It is currently banned in all countries that consent to the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals, but breeders are able to navigate this by importing pre-cropped dogs from countries that green light the procedure.

The aesthetic appearance of cropped dogs has proved popular with stars including Leigh-Anne, footballer Andy Carroll and his ex-wife – former TOWIE star Billi Mucklow. 

Taking to Instagram that year, Leigh-Anne was slammed by fans after sharing a snap of herself and cropped dog Kyro.

Lambasting the star, an unimpressed fan wrote: ‘I hope to god you rescued this dog and his ears had already been cropped.

‘If you had done or bought from a breeder who did you are supporting a cruel practice. It is illegal in the UK for a reason. This is shocking.’

While a second added: ‘Why you cut the ears pls dont do that.’

The singer’s boyfriend, Watford footballer Andre, later defended her by insisting that neither of them supported the operation, with Kyro bought as a surprise for Leigh-Anne.

Other stars to come under fire for showing off cropped dogs include former Chelsea captain John Terry and Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford.

Between 2015 and 2017 complaints to the RSPCA regarding the procedure rose by 157 per cent, according to The Sun.

Leigh-Anne recently returned from a sunny beach getaway to Brazil and offered fans a glimpse of her holiday with an array of snaps and videos on Instagram.

She jetted to Rio with her pals to bask in the sunshine, and in her post, she showed off her jaw-dropping figure in an array of skimpy ʙικιɴιs.

While her post featured a range of racy looks, Leigh-Anne also shared fun videos while dancing on the beach with her friends and basking in Rio’s incredible views.
