A search is continuing for an orphaned lamb and its one-year-old sheepdog companion after the two animals went missing in Nottinghamshire.

Owners Natalie Haywood and Jordan Knight had paired Bella, a spring lamb who still required bottle feeding, with their Border Collie, Blake, after Bella's mother died.

The two pets became close friends, but have now gone missing from their home in Perlethorpe.

TV star Phillip Schofield has put up a £1,000 reward has been put up to find an orphaned lamb and her border collie companion after they went missing.

The plea has gone national after the family appeared on This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

Mum-of-two Natalie appeared through a live video-link with a plea to help find "their babies".

Border collie Blake and lamb Bella went missing from the family's garden, near farmland in Perlethorpe, on Monday (8 May).
