Britons are famous for being a nation of animal lovers – but few can match Kate Beckinsale.
The actress has revealed she misses her cat so much that she sleeps with his ashes each night.
The 50-year-old was ‘totally heartbroken’ when Clive died in June aged 19 – and she’s clearly still grieving.
After a fan asked on Instagram whether he was cremated or buried, she wrote: ‘Cremated and call me weird but I sleep with his little casket in my bed every night.’
She also posted a montage of photographs of ‘Things and people that have given comfort or lifted my spirits’ – including a portrait of Clive surrounded by candles.
