‘He was a true hero’: Ant McPartlin has been labeled a ‘real gentleman’ for ‘rescuing four dogs from a busy road’ after female owner collapsed while walking through London park
Ant McPartlin has been labeled a ‘hero’ after he stopped four dogs from running into a busy road.
The TV presenter, 47, who was enjoying a walk with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett and their four-legged friends, reportedly sprang into action when he saw a dog walker in Richmond Park collapse and drop leashes off the animals.
Ant took them back to the dog walker and checked that the woman was okay before walking on.
A person who saw the incident happen said, “At the moment the woman collapsed, the dogs all ran off in different directions. Ant immediately sprang into action to round them all up.’
They added The sun: ‘He was a real hero, because they could have easily encountered oncoming cars.

“He returned them to the woman, checked that she was okay, and lifted her up like a gentleman.”
Aside from his and Anne-Marie’s Maltipoos, Milo and Bumble, Ant also ran his pet Labrador, Hurley, who he shares with his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong.
It comes after Britain’s Got Talent presenters Ant and Dec, plus judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli, arrived in style for the latest auditions in a teaser clip for Saturday’s show.
The group eschewed fancy limousines and helicopters and instead headed to the London Palladium in personalized Tuk Tuks, with both Dec and Bruno behind the wheel.
They certainly seemed to enjoy the ride, and an enthusiastic Dec even bellowed to his megaphone-wielding co-star, “Let’s get the Tuk out of here!” as they raced through the streets of London.
But as the hosts and his fellow judges braved the cold and hit the road, Simon Cowell opted instead for a relaxing bubble bath – complete with rubber duck.
In the humorous first look ahead of the final show, Dec can be seen presenting a yellow and black motorized rickshaw, dubbed ‘Tyneside Taxis’, to a skeptical Ant.
Ant then replies, “I don’t get it, why?” with an enthusiastic Dec pointing out that Tuk Tuks are ‘all the rage’, with ‘all the kids going crazy for them!’
However, Ant is forced to confirm to his confused friend that kids are going crazy on the video sharing platform ‘Tik Tok’ as opposed to Tuk Tuks.
Despite the confusion, the Geordie duo decide to make the most of the mode of transport and hit the road, where they soon encounter Amanda, Alesha and Bruno in their own Tuk Tuk, which was decorated with blue, white and red colours. .

As the hosts drove by, Ant yelled, “Go on, for God’s sake!” Leaving Amanda and Alesha clucking.
Meanwhile, as the group made their way to the auditions, they wondered where music mogul Simon had gone, with Alesha speculating, “I think he’s taking a nice, warm, hot bath!”
And her prediction turned out to be correct, as the scene then cut to Simon soaking in a bubble-filled bath.
He wears his sunglasses and speaks to his Union Jack-clad rubber duck, remarking, “I didn’t like it, I loved it!”
