Russell Brand misses Jemima Khan’s dog.
The 39-year-old comedian – who reportedly split from Jemima, 40, last month after a year of dating – confessed "life is hard" now he no longer gets to spend time with her white Alsatian named Brian.
Speaking on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, which airs tomorrow night (25.10.14), he said: "I loved that dog. But what can you do?
"Life is hard isn’t it. You just jog on. You focus and think, ‘Well I have lost that dog, we just have to overthrow the government.’ "
Russell – who had taken Brian onto the talk show a year earlier – added: "I just walk around with a limp lead now. You should see what I do when I get home, with the same lead."
Jemima and the notorious lothario – who also split from wife Katy Perry in December 2011 after 14 months of marriage – first fuelled rumours they had ended their relationship after it became apparent that they’d unfollowed each other on Twitter
A source said at the time: "The relationship has simply run its course."
