Heartbreaking: Towie hunk Lewis breaks down in Marbella
They are the pictures that speak volumes: Lewis Bloor crouched on the side of a beach-bed; his shoulders hunched; his left hand wiping away a tear as his right hand holds tight onto his phone.
Clearly,The Only Way Is Essex hunk had received some devastating news.
Pictured on Monday in Marbella, it has now emerged that the distraught 24-year-old at that moment received the news that his beloved German Shepherd Alfie had passed away.
Addressing the photographs on Twitter, Alfie posted a photo of his long-time pal with a short message to explain his distress.
Poor Lewis, nobody wants to have to say goodbye to a furry BFF, especially being so far from home.

In his Tweet he said it was “sad news for anyone to hear”.
At least Lewis didn’t have to suffer the loss alone as fellow Essex pals James Argent and Lydia Bright were on hand to help him through.
It is believed though, part of the reality TV star's emotional outburst was fuelled by his failed relationship with Sam Faiers. The two had shared a brief romance following Lewis’ rocky relationship with Lauren Pope.
Lewis has admitted that he feels about how rude he was to Lauren during a Towie cast trip to Dubai during which he made some nasty comments about the age difference between the two.
At the time, Lewis was heard saying; "Who wants to go out with a 40-year-old anyway?" Rude is right.
He’s since confirmed that he regrets the comments.
Sam Faiers has also commented on the Lauren-Lewis bust-up in her book Secrets & Lies: she said she can’t even look at the scenes between the two with “cringing at how disrespectful he is towards her”.
