Lisa Armstrong is reportedly "annoyed" she has to share custody of her beloved dog Hurley with ex-husband, Ant McPartlin.
The makeup artist and ITV star divorced in 2018 and their custody battle over the chocolate Labrador was a feature of their messy split.
It was decided the two would share custody of the pooch despite McPartlin, 48, sharing two new dogs with current wife Anne-Marie Corbett.
The Saturday Night Takeaway star has recently welcomed his first child with Corbett, a baby boy called Wilder.
It's since been reported Armstrong, 47, is fighting for full custody of Hurley, whom she frequently posts adorable snaps of on her social media.
A source told OK!: "She [Armstrong] really had to fight Ant for him [Hurley], which she still is annoyed about as he got other dogs with Anne-Marie and now she would just like Hurley to live with her full-time.

"Ant obviously loves Hurley as well but he now has a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in his life and Lisa can't see why she can't have full custody of him."
The source emphasised how Hurley had helped Armstrong to get through her public divorce from McPartlin, adding: "He's more than just a dog to her and has been a lifeline at times."
Armstrong, who works on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing as a makeup artist, recently shared another cute photo of her beloved dog.
Hurley appeared very sleepy in the photo, which Armstrong captioned: "Tired Hurls?!" along with laughing emojis.

McPartlin and Corbett, 46, welcomed baby Wilder on May 14, with the presenter sharing a sweet black and white snap on his social media.
He penned: "Welcome to the family. Wilder Patrick Mcpartlin. Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am.
"Baby is beautiful, Mummy's a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad's a mess!"
In the photo, McPartlin's tattoo featuring names of his family members was visible.

The tattoo led to fans accusing McPartlin of "snubbing" dog Hurley because while his wife, step-children and other dogs' names were visible, there seemed to be no mention of Hurley.
However, McPartlin addressed this Hey all, I just wanted to say thank You so much for the kind messages of love and well wishes for our baby Wilder. He’s doing great.
"Glad you loved the tattoo as well. For all you dog lovers who asked why my beloved Hurley wasn’t on the family tree... he was!!
"He was just covered by our newborn. All my love, gratitude and heartfelt thanks A."
