Ant McPartlin walks dog Hurley with wife Anne-Marie after ‘fresh custody battle’ ensues with ex Lisa

Ant McPartlin was spotted walking his dog with his wife, Anne-Marie Corbett, amid the battle over custody of the pooch he has with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong.

The I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here host, who is usually seen opposite Declan Donnelly, is currently embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-wife over the ownership of Hurley, a chocolate labrador.

On Monday, the Britain's Got Talent presenter was pictured sporting a super comfy beige jumper, black trousers and black boots as he walked through the park with Anne-Marie on his arm.

Anne-Marie, who used to be Ant’s personal assistant, was pictured in a massive puffer coat and sunglasses as they walked Hurley alongside their other pooches, Maltipoos called Milo and Bumble.

While Ant and Lisa were married for 11 years before they filed for divorce in 2018, the former couple is still in disputes over their assets.

As per the Mail Online, Lisa, 46, asked that Hurley lives with her full-time because Ant and Anne-Marie now have two other dogs.

Speaking to the publication, a source explained: “Lisa has asked to have Hurley but Ant is saying no. He has two more dogs now, a new wife and two stepdaughters, but still he wants joint custody.

“It has led to some difficult conversations between Ant and Lisa. It’s all very sad. Ant has been able to move on, get remarried and get two more dogs. Lisa has been left to pick up the pieces.”


Ant had previously talked about their mutual love for Hurley during the initial divorce battle when he said: “There’s a loyalty and a love and a companionship with Hurley that you can’t describe. We still share quite evenly. Hurley’s welfare comes first and we both love him very much.”

The a-list couple broke the news of their divorce in 2018 when they penned an emotional tribute that dubbed the split a “difficult time.”

“In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin,” a statement read at the time.


"Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made."

Ant and Lisa met back in 1994 and later married in Buckinghamshire in 2006 alongside 150 guests and Dec as his friend’s best man.

Meanwhile, Ant and Anne-Marie got engaged in December 2020 with a four-carat diamond ring before tying the knot in August 2021, with Dec once again filling the role of best man.
