LISA: HANDS OFF MY HOUND, ANT

She insists pooch is hers

- By ANDREW JAMESON andrew.jameson@dailystar.co.uk

ANT McPartlin’s wife Lisa has declared their beloved pet Hurley is “my” dog as they battle for his custody.

The make-up artist appeared to reject claims they will share ownership after breaking her social media silence following Ant’s divorce announceme­nt.

Ant is reportedly happy for Lisa to pocket half of his £62million fortune.

But the childless couple are said to be at war over who keeps the precious four-year-old chocolate labrador Hurley. Yesterday, Lisa tweeted a picture of him with his lab pals and said: “My baby boy and his furry fam.”

Ant, 42, dotes on his pedigree chum and has reportedly made sure he has time in his schedule to pick Hurley up from the former marital home for walks.

But many of dog-mad Lisa’s posts online are about the hound.

An insider said: “The dog remains a bone of contention. It threatens what should actually be a simple split between two people who have grown apart. Lisa’s not going to budge on Hurley.”

Lisa returned to Twitter to post about ITV show Britain’s Favourite Dogs on Tuesday.

Ant and his missus were set for an awkward reunion at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions this week which he hosts and she does the make-up for.

One fan tweeted: “Poor @ lisamakeup! Can’t help feeling for her, seeing him grinning everywhere a couple of days after announcing divorce.”
