The news was confirmed to The Sun after a Reddit user made contact with the owner, who also supplied the iconic EastEnders dog Wellard.
Announcing the news, they told The Sun: “My dog who played Terence last worked on the show in 2009, though another dog from a different company played the role for a few more episodes.
“Afraid Terence and Wellard, who I also supplied, are unfortunately long gone now. They are never with us long enough.”
Terence made his first appearance on 29 October 2001 when Billy Mitchell gave the dog to Janine Butcher as a gift for her 18th birthday.
Known as the “glam dog” of Albert Square, Terence was often seen accompanying Janine and featured in key scenes – including moments with Archie Mitchell and Ricky Butcher during their final episodes in December 2009.
In response to the post, one fan wrote: “I’m so glad they lived such a full life full of love.”
Someone else said: “So sad to hear. Doggy goes to heaven.”
The most recent real-life death of an EastEnders star was Kathryn Apanowicz, who passed away at age 64 on March 12 after a prolonged illness.
She was known for her role as Magda Czajkowski – a café caterer involved with “Dirty” Den Watts – during the late 1980s to early 1990s
Before her, the next passing was Arnold Yarrow, who died on December 9, aged 104.
EastEnders fans rage about ‘continuous blunder’ on soap as they beg bosses ‘sort it out’ – did you spot it?
He was remembered for his role as Benny Bloom in the BBC soap and for writing several episodes of the show.
