They say dog owners start to resemble their pooches over time - and it couldn't be more true for Ant McPartlin, whose mood seemed to match his Labrador's this week.
The Britain's Got Talent presenter looked glum as he walked his equally forlorn-looking dog Hurley in posh Wimbledon Village this morning.
Wearing black tracksuit bottoms and a long-sleeved top, a matching black baseball cap and fresh white trainers, Ant puffed on his vape as he led Hurley through the streets past bougie coffee shops.

Hurley, meanwhile, trotted faithfully by his side with no need for a lead as he kept pace with his master.
There was no sign of Ant and his PA-turned-girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett's new Maltipoo puppies Milo and Bumble, who cost a whopping £1,000 each.
Hurley has still been travelling back and forth between Ant's home and his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong's house in Chiswick, west London.
He spends a week with each, before a private chauffeur picks him up and drives him to his other parent's house.
Ant McPartlin gets back on the road following Britain's Got Talent success
Ant couldn't have looked more introspective as he walked down the road, despite the success of his reunion with Declan Donnelly on this weekend's Britain's Got Talent.
It's the first time he's worked on the show without wife Lisa, who was axed from Britain's Got More Talent because ITV bosses felt it was "untenable" to have them working together.
And while producers brushed over Ant's first on-screen appearance in a year - after he gave up the rest of his 2018 work projects to focus on getting sober following the drink-drive crash - Ant's loyal fans welcomed him back with open arms.

It comes after Lisa gushed about her happiness following her week-long holiday in the sun with her best friend.
She and This Morning's makeup artist Bryony Blake jetted off to Oman where Lisa showed off her slim frame in a striped swimsuit.
"Gonna miss this face!!! @bryony_blake oh how we laughed.... seriously had the best time!! #friends #oman #bestie #itsgoodtolaugh ," she wrote on Instagram .
