Andrew collars the dog after split with Caroline

ANDREW Brady has appeared to have kept hold of his and Caroline Flack’s French bulldog puppy, Ruby, after their high-profile split.

And he has even revealed on Instagram that he calls her his ‘daughter’.

The former couple, who got engaged in April and separated for good in July after a whirlwind six-month romance, were reportedly set for a custody battle over the pet pooch last month.

Caroline, 38, was reported to have been left ‘furious’ after her 27-year-old ex-beau was said to have taken Ruby without her permission before she headed back to Majorca to continue filming for Love Island.

Yet it now looks as though Andrew will keep the puppy as he shared a photograph of himself posing with the adorable pooch on his Instagram, after several other posts too.

In the photo, the cash-strapped former Apprentice star cut a casual figure in dark jeans, a burgundy T-shirt and orange Ray-Ban sunglasses, as he held Ruby on his lap.

He captioned the sweet snap with: ‘Dad and Daughter,’ followed with a dog emoji.

Andrew’s representative has been approached for comment.

The photo comes after a source told The Sun earlier this month: ‘The dog was the one thing they seemed able to agree on.

‘She had been happy to share custody of the dog — and for Andrew to disappear with it was out of order.

‘On top of everything else that’s happened it was like a final kick in the teeth. She has gone to film again, but she hasn’t accepted it.’
