Posting a video which had a montage of clips of him and Rocky, he talked about how he had given his dog the "best life" but that he had no choice but to rehome his dog.

Advertisement Read more on Miles Nazaire "Although he picked me up and made me feel amazing I don't know if I could handle it anymore and it just wasn't fair on him. "I was always traveling, he always had to go to daycare, he always had to go to a dog hotel and I'd go away for a few weeks, come back and he'd meet new people and I just wanted him to have the best life." Continuing he said: "So when I was in Portugal I broke down because I had this realization that oh yeah I can't have him anymore, he needs the best life possible." Miles captioned the post with: "I never imagined having to write a post like this, but I'm aware there's been a lot of speculation about what happened with Rocky. Advertisement Most read in Reality "Some parts of my life are deeply personal, and I've chosen not to share everything publicly not out of secrecy, but out of care. "I waited to speak on this because I needed to make sure Rocky was safe, happy, and rehomed with the perfect family. That has now happened, and he's exactly where he needs to be. "I kindly ask that any further assumptions, judgment, or unkindness about my decision be put to rest. This was one of the most difficult choices I've ever had to make, and I made it with love. "To those who've shown compassion, understanding, and support, thank you. It's meant more than you know.

However, despite his explanation, some fans were not happy with how he had treated the dog. One wrote: "Look, he was clearly well looked after and loved but I honestly don't get how pets are so disposable. "Glad you've found him a great loving home."

Instant unfollow." Advertisement Another vented: "I think the video is really rather telling. "The perspective was all ''I'. Having an animal is all about them, not 'I'. "An animal should always be first, because of them, regardless of anything. 6 Miles Nazaire is best known for Made in Chelsea, Credit: E4 Advertisement "He is fortunately in a better place, it's just a shame your video was all about you and not the pain that Rocky is probably feeling."
