DETECTIVE Sergeant Nick Bailey has revealed the latest addition to his family: a white Labrador puppy.

Sharing the news on Twitter on Friday night, the Wiltshire Police officer said: "This happened today. His name is Milo. A very early birthday present for my beautiful wife @SarahBailey3 x"

DS Bailey was one of the first officers to investigate the 2018 Novichok attack against former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

He fell ill after coming into contact with the nerve agent but later recovered.

He and his family were portrayed in BBC drama The Salisbury Poisonings which aired in June.

Labrador puppy Milo joins him and his wife Sarah, their two daughters and their other dog, a Springer.
