Close’s four-legged friend has been treated lavishly on the trip as well, being chauffeured in a luxury people-carrier and flying in to the airport on the actress’s lap.

He even has his own Instagram account, where he’s affectionately referred to as Sir Pippin on Beanfield.

Despite her celebrated role as Dalmatians’ greatest-ever villain, Close is a well-known animal lover.

In 2007 she and her husband, David Shaw, co-founded FetchDog, an Internet catalogue of dog accessories.
