ANT McPartlin looks as though he’s getting back to his best following his stint in rehab after his drink-drive conviction.

The 42-year-old TV presenter grinned as he walked his beloved dog Hurley – who he shares with his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong – in a London park.

Ant kept his head down as he set out on a stroll to enjoy the sunshine over the weekend.

He wore sunglasses over his eyes and talked on the phone before letting Hurley off his lead.

Ant beamed as he walked through the park before sitting down for a rest in the sunshine.

After struggling with addiction, Ant revealed he’s making positive changes in his life and is now using a vaping device rather than smoking.

Since he was arrested in March for drink-driving, Ant has stayed out of the public eye.

Last week he met up with his best pal Declan Donnelly after the Baftas and smiled for a picture when a fan spotted them together.

In the past few weeks he’s quit the rented home he has lived in since splitting from wife Lisa and moved into a £4.5million mansion.

His new home, rented for an estimated £12,000 a month, will give him the perfect tranquillity to continue his recovery eight miles away from his former home.

The gated property in South West London also has a separate flat for guests or staff, beautiful gardens overlooked by a balcony, and a games room with pool table.

A source said: “He needs somewhere quiet and private a bit out of the way to help him focus on his recovery.

“The new place is exactly that. It will help with his treatment and give him some space away from the limelight.”
