ANT McPartlin reportedly had to make a swift exit from Britain's Got Talent (BGT) duties to be with his adored dog Hurley, who has since been put to sleep.
The presenter, famous for his Ant and Dec partnership with fellow Geordie Declan Donnelly, rushed out of a BGT press conference in London to be with his beloved companion in his final moments, The Sun reported on Sunday (February 15).
At the London vets, Ant was accompanied by his ex-wife, Lisa Armstrong, as the pair said their final goodbyes.
Ant has reportedly left the UK and has requested privacy while he mourns the passing of Hurley.
A source told The Sun that he was "in bits."
They added: "He’s inconsolable. He absolutely adored Hurley and, naturally, he’s devastated.
"It came as a massive shock to everyone. Hurley has been a part of his life for 12 years, so to lose him like this is crushing.
"He said he couldn’t be around Hurley’s things as he grieved."
