Ant McPartlin looks happy and healthy as he walks beloved dog Hurley near his home in London
ANT McPartlin looked healthy and happy as he took his dog Hurley for a walk in London yesterday.
The telly star, 42, was dressed down in a tracksuit and sweatshirt as he had a kickabout with his pet pooch in the park.
It's the first time Ant was seen public since he was pictured kissing new girlfriend Anne Marie Corbett last week.
The couple recently enjoyed a romantic getaway in Florence, Italy, where they were pictured cuddling in the street and going for late night walks.
Ant has taken an extended break away from television to continue his recovery from alcohol addiction following his drink-drive arrest earlier this year.
He has been supported by Anne-Marie, who worked as his personal assistant for a decade, throughout his troubles and will return to work on Britain’s Got Talent in 2019.
The pair got together earlier this year after Ant split from his wife Lisa Armstrong after 11 years of marriage.
Meanwhile, Ant and Lisa are set for a quick divorce to dodge a lengthy court battle, according to reports.
reports that an agreement between the former couple is “close” after initial angry words following the split were put aside.
A source told the paper they now want their lawyers to find a way for the divorce to be granted quickly.

It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed Lisa is to file for divorce on the grounds of his adultery with new love Anne-Marie Corbett after their marriage split.
Lisa had previously alleged that their marriage broke down because he was hooked on prescription pills.
But now she is set to file for divorce on the grounds of Ant’s adultery — after they had broken up — with new love Anne-Marie.
Sources say an agreement between Ant and Lisa is “close” on this basis. Only then will the official paperwork be submitted to the courts.
The Sun Online has approached Lisa and Ant's reps for comment.
Ant, 42, could accuse Lisa, 41, of “unreasonable behaviour” but won’t contest adultery as it means the divorce can be granted quickly — which he wants.
The star separated from Lisa in January and became romantically involved with his personal assistant Anne-Marie in June.
Under divorce laws, he technically has to admit adultery because he is still married. Anne-Marie, 42, is also married. She separated from her husband last October.
