Hurley appeared in one of Ant McPartlin’s latest social media updates, causing a stir on Instagram.
Ant McPartlin was one of many online users to celebrate International Dog Day this Monday, August 26, 2024, as he shared a series of dog photos, and in one was seen laying in his bed, which he shares with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
The I’m A Celebrity presenter, 48, posted photos of his pet pooches, including Hurley, who appeared laying down with a watch on his wrist, as he penned: “Dog dump (not that kind… get your mind out the gutter!) #InternationalDogDay.”
In other shots, Hurley can also be seen bonding with Ant and Anne-Marie’s pets, Maltese and poodle crossbreeds called Milo and Bumble. Milo, Bumble and Hurley also share the spotlight with their owner in another photo from the latter’s bed.
Ant’s post prompted multiple reactions as dog lovers and one eagle-eyed fan spotted a wild detail – Hurley was wearing a watch.

“Is that Hurley?”, one admirer wondered in the comments, pairing their message with a red heart emoji. A third chimed in: “Hurley is my fav.” One final follower added: “This is the kind of dog dump I like to see in the mornings!!”
But in another flurry of comments, some followers couldn’t help but notice what kind of watch Hurley had been given. “THE DOG HAS A WATCH? HELP”, one notably quipped. “Aww is he wearing a Rolex?”, one wrote. Another echoed: “not just any watch either it’s a Rolex. Posh dog.”
This comes after Ant’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong surprised her own social media fans by making a cryptic comment about single life.
The 47-year-old make-up artist – who is part of the senior team working on the BBC’s troubled talent show Strictly Come Dancing shared a social media post that had been uploaded by the inspirational and motivational Instagram page Wealthy Women Guide.
The post suggestively stated: “Stop asking me if I’m single or not. If you like me, just join the team. The winner will be announced soon.” Lisa shared the post to her Stories and tagged a friend while also adding a number of heart related emojis to her re-share.
Fans have been left questioning that the statement is in reference to her own love life as the flirtatious message alludes to someone dating more than one person at once.
Following her devastating split from Ant, Lisa appeared to find happiness again with an electrician named James Green but the pair called it quits in 2023.
