Jemima Slade says her beloved dog Jakey was kidnapped a year ago and she is still desperate to get him back

Controversial Big Brother 2013 housemate Jemima Slade has been searching for her Chihuahua Jakey for a year since he was dognapped.

Jemima, a self confessed cougar starred on BB14 with the likes of Sallie Axl and is at her wits end with worry over Jakey.

Jakey was taken by a thief in Marylebone, central London.

Eight-year-old Jakey got out of Jemima's flat in Marylebone on July 21 and almost a year on she is still searching, receiving hoax messages and even consulting Tarot readers.

After spending a frantic night searching for him, she was told someone had spotted him in Cosway Street.

CCTV would later appear to show Jakey being grabbed as he walked along the road by a man who threw him into a white van and sped off.

Jemima told Mirror Celeb: "Jakey was part of our family - a son and brother. We have been absolutely devastated since he has been stolen.

"These men who took him have caused upheaval and changed our lives in an unbelievable way that you cannot imagine. We will never be complete again until he is returned to us."

The black and fawn Chihuahua was born on the same day as Jemima, January 22 and she had him since he was eight weeks old. He is now nine years old.

He has a distinctive look, having had his tooth removed, his tongue hangs out.

She said: "he doesn't eat dog food so we are worried about him. I bought him for my daughter as she wanted a brother so we called him Jakey Little like Stuart Little.

"He got out of the flat due to people moving downstairs and left the door open.

"He ran to my salon roads away and got taken 20 yards from it.

They chased him up and down the road, he bit them and put up such a fight that they went to the van and got a jumper to throw over him. it was heartbreaking to watch. There was a woman and a child in the van too."

Since seeing the CCTV footage she has even received sick hoax calls claiming he has been found.

She said: "How disgusting that they cannot think this little baby belonged to a family who are devastated and they do not have a damn inch of conscience.

"There has not been a day go by that I have not actively carried on looking for him, online, sending posters, even dog communicators."
