Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness has spoke of his sorrow following the death of his cat.

The TV star said the animal fell out of a window and died.

The makeover series' hair and grooming expert said he was "hurting so bad" after the loss of the cat, named Bug.

He posted a photo of the pair on Instagram with a "Sensitivity Warning".

He wrote: "At some point last night while I slept my baby Bug fell from an open window and passed away.

"I'm hurting so bad today I can't put it into words, for anyone else experiencing grief & loss, I'm with you."

Van Ness, 32, told his 4.1 million followers on the site: "I'm sharing this mainly because if you see me around the next few days I won't be my typical happy self and that's okay.

"Not sure how I'm going to make this loss mean something more but in the meantime, please make a donation to an animal shelter near you."
