Lisa Armstrong has shared a nostalgic throwback photo from the 1990s, featuring herself in a bikini, following the death of her beloved dog Hurley. The 47-year-old make-up artist posted the image on her Instagram stories, showing a younger version of herself during her marriage to Ant McPartlin.
The throwback comes amid reports that Armstrong is preparing for a custody battle over the chocolate Labrador she shared with her ex-husband. The couple, who were married from 2006 to 2018, have had shared custody of Hurley since their split, but changes are expected following McPartlin becoming a father for the first time last month.
Ant McPartlin and his second wife Anne-Marie welcomed a son named Wilder Patrick McPartlin. The birth came as Armstrong was grieving the fifth anniversary of her father Derek Armstrong's death, who passed away in 2019. She posted a touching tribute to her father on social media, describing him as her hero.
A source close to Armstrong revealed that the holiday to Portugal she took following the announcement was planned due to the anniversary of her father's death, not because of McPartlin's new baby. The source added that Hurley is 'her baby now' and that she has moved on from her ex-husband.
