Panto queen Twink is “thrilled” after her kidnapped dog was discovered after a late-night raid by Gardai.
The TV star – real name Adele King – is now reunited with Teddy Bear who has been missing since last Thursday.
“I can’t thank the media, gardai and the members of the public enough for their help in getting Teddy back to me,” she said.
“Everyone has been so kind, and I will never forget how wonderful you have all been throughout this whole ordeal.

“I am overjoyed that my little dog is now safe and well and back at home with his family, who have missed him so very much.”
Officers received a tip-off from a member of the public after a high-profile campaign to find the pooch.
They then got a search warrant for a house in South Dublin – which when raided allowed them to recover the miniature Yorkshire Terrier.
They have now arrested a man who has been released as a report is prepared for the DPP to decide whether to press charges.

Gardai took Teddy to a vet to be checked, but was discovered to be fine despite the ordeal of being stolen from the entertainer’s home.
Twink had been beside herself after the pooch was nabbed from her Dublin house last Thursday.
She said: “My heart is f**king broken. Someone has taken my baby! Who would do such a thing as to be steal my baby! I feel like he has been snatched from my bosom!”
