Dermot said: “Rosie is very prone to developing warts all over her body. They become uncomfortable and itchy so periodically she needs an operation to remove them.
“This time she had 14 warts removed under general anaesthesia and Rory, the presenter, came to our home to meet Orla, Colette, and Rosie.
“The next day Rory and Orla came to Rouken Glen Vets in Thornliebank where I work and stayed with Rosie while she had her pre-med and general anaesthesia.
“Then Rory accompanied me into theatre for the operation.
