Get ready for a tearjerker, folks! TV's golden boy Ant McPartlin has unleashed a wave of heartfelt emotion, as he shares his grief-stricken journey following the loss of Hurley, his cherished chocolate Labrador. Paws down, it's been ruff! During his podcast with sidekick Dec, Ant exposed the raw agony of bidding farewell to his fur-baby, who 'passed away in my arms' surrounded by loved ones at the vet's office. 🐾💔
The 'I'm A Celebrity' guru painted a touching scene of his pooch's final moments, igniting sympathy from fans and strangers alike – even on his holiday no less! Amidst the snuggles and sobs, a former flame was rekindled, as Ant stood paw in paw with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, setting aside eight years of separation and a 'dogfight' divorce that left them both yanking Hurley's leash. According to Ant, he'd have surrendered everything except his best furry friend! 🐕
Daily walks and dinner preps have turned into a deluge of tears for our beloved presenter, who's been 'crying a lot.' Meanwhile, make-up maven Lisa Armstrong paid homage through snaps, vids, and the poignant 'Rainbow Bridge' verse on Insta, tagging Hurley 'forever our boy.' Even the celeb pack – Ellis Bextor, Bunton, Turner, Atkinson – howled out their support.
This Lab was no ordinary pet – he was Ant's anchor during his rehab stint. But let's not forget the real heroes – Hurley's fans who've showered Ant with soothing support. It's a furry tale of love, loss and the bond that's stronger than any dog collar. Rest in paws, Hurley 🌈🌟
