As seen in his post on Tuesday, Scott loved dressing up Gracie in adorable outfits — including chef hats and reindeer outfits — and often featured her on his social media accounts.

In the clip, shared last November, Scott joked that the puppets — dressed in tiny cowboy hats — couldn’t hold the light while he worked.

“Gracie is still more useful than @mrdrewscott,” Jonathan joked about his costar and twin, Drew Scott, in the caption.
