BBC's Clare Balding says 'it's killing me' as she shares update with wife Alice
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Clare Balding, leading the Wimbledon coverage for the BBC this year, has spoken candidly about the challenge she and her partner Alice Arnold are facing after the loss of their beloved Tibetan terrier Archie in 2020. The search for a new canine companion has been spirited but unhurried, as Clare reasons that it's a decision one shouldn't rush into. Speaking on the Alright, Pet? podcast at the Good Woof festival, the renowned 54-year-old presenter explained why last summer wasn't the ideal time, she said: "Here's the thing about responsible dog ownership, I'm going to be away all this summer doing the Olympics and Paralympics, this is not the time to bring a dog into my life, our life." She also highlighted that amidst ongoing house renovations—aimed at creating more space and safer environment—it was prudent to wait: "And, we are also doing a big sort of house building project, so that we can move somewhere where we've got a bit more space, we're not close to a road, and we can have doors open all the time."

During a segment on her Channel 5 show Lost Dog, Found Dog, Clare consulted with a pet loss specialist who offered guidance on adopting another pet after losing one. Addressing whether bereaved owners should swiftly fill the void with a new pet, the specialist shared: "It's different for everyone, but the most important thing is, it's what's best for the animal you do get." Clare Balding stressed the significance of involving all family members in the decision to get a new dog, saying: "If you're in a unit that's made up of more than one person, you involve everybody in that decision because it's so so important." She also cautioned against attempting to replace a deceased dog with an identical breed or name, highlighting the uniqueness of each canine. "And what we often hear is that people try and replace [the dog] with the same breed, the same name, please don't because every dog is unique and has it's own character." Additionally, Clare emphasised the need for mental preparation when welcoming a new dog into the family after a loss. In a recent appearance on Good Morning Britain, Clare mentioned that she and her partner Alice were edging closer to becoming dog owners again, but were taking their time with the decision. Currently, Clare is occupied with presenting live BBC coverage from Wimbledon, and in September, she will embark on a book tour to promote her latest publication. Alongside Isa Guha, Clare leads the daily Wimbledon coverage on TV, broadcast on BBC One, BBC Two, and available on BBC iPlayer. Commenting on her involvement, Clare said: "I love being part of such a good team and learning from them about the new players who stepping into the void left by Federer, Nadal and Murray. "I'm excited to see how Jack Draper can progress and of course see the latest instalment of the Alcaraz/Sinner rivalry. Coco Gauff burst into our consciousness at only 15 when she beat Venus Williams on her Wimbledon debut. "I'd love to see her reach her first final here and ultimately lift the title. It would be great to see a good run from Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu."

Rassie Erasmus makes shock Wales spying accusation as he tells Warren Gatland 'stop now'
Rassie Erasmus makes shock Wales spying accusation as he tells Warren Gatland 'stop now' The former Wales coach has once again spoken about accusations of spying by the Springboks during the 2021 Lions tour Former Wales head coach Warren Gatland and South Africa's Rassie Erasmus (Image: Getty Images) ) Rassie Erasmus has strongly denied allegations made by Warren Gatland that the Springboks spied on the British and Irish Lions during their 2021 tour of South Africa, labelling the claims as baseless and calling for an end to what he described as 'misinformation". Speaking after South Africa's 42-24 win over Italy at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday, Erasmus, who also went on to accuse Wales themselves of spying in 2021, expressed his frustration over Gatland's accusations, which were detailed in the former Lions boss's latest column for The Telegraph. Gatland alleged that the Springbok camp rented a property overlooking the Lions' training facility and used a long-lens camera to film their preparations. He said suspicions within the Lions setup were confirmed when Lukhanyo Am produced a perfectly-timed hit on Elliot Daly during the opening Test. The former Wales coach also claimed Erasmus was seen on the pitch during a match, disguised as a water carrier, holding a sheet that appeared to include the Lions' attacking plays. 'One of the photographers captured a shot of him holding the paper next to Faf de Klerk,' Gatland wrote. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack for the exclusive five-week tour diary from Japan and Australia. Article continues below 'We enlarged the image after the game and it looked like some of our moves and calls were on that sheet.' Gatland said the Lions were so concerned they relocated training sessions indoors to avoid being watched. 'We just didn't know how they could have so much information on us,' he added. Erasmus initially responded with sarcastic posts on social media, but after the win over Italy, he addressed the issue directly and called on Gatland to put an end to the claims. 'It must stop now,' Erasmus said. 'If we're going to go through every bizarre and unlikely story, there'll be a lot more of these kinds of tales. 'I don't want people thinking this kind of thing actually happens in rugby. "There are always strange rumours around training sessions and coaches trying to outsmart each other, but this is different. To make such a serious claim in a newspaper based purely on hearsay is irresponsible. "It just creates unnecessary tension. I'd like us to move on and stop discussing it all together.' Erasmus actually went on to accuse Wales of spying in the autumn of 2021, however Gatland was not head coach at that time. Article continues below The Springboks were forced to evacuate their Cardiff hotel twice overnight before playing Wales and Erasmus has now claimed information had been taken when they returned. Responding to a WalesOnline social media post, Erasmus said: 'I hear from a source from within the Wales [sic] camp that whilst we were evacuated all our notes and plans were photographed and the white board sheets taken. 'We were again forced at around 06h00 for [sic] another evacuation!!'
