Lisa Armstrong dotes on a friendly dog while she’s working on Alan Carr’s show in Essex

She’s often seen doting on her and ex-husband Ant McPartlin’s seven-year-old Labrador Hurley.

And Lisa Armstrong appeared to be in good spirits as she puckered her lips when approached by another friendly dog while working in Essex. 

The makeup artist, 43, was relaxing with Alan Carr during the shoot for show Interior Design Masters- which also happened to include an ice cream van emblazoned with her own pet’s name on the front.

While she was sitting with the funnyman on Wednesday, Lisa put on an animated display with the cute pooch.

As the canine rested its front paws on her hands Lisa puckered her lips and leant towards the animal, showing it some attention. 

She was also seen touching up Alan’s makeup ahead of the shoot and giggling with the star while taking a moments break on some plastic chairs.

Lisa opted for a relaxed ensemble during the work day, donning a warm black jumper and boots as well as a red patterned face mask.

The star tied her blonde locks back into a high bun and appeared to keep her own makeup to a minimum as she focused on working.

Alan and Lisa were seen chatting away throughout the filming, with the pair making the most of their day at the seaside and enjoying some ice cream. 

However things didn’t go quite to plan for the entire shoot, with Alan having some problems behind the wheel of the Hurley ice cream van.

As he took to the driving seat, Alan accidentally stalled the vehicle and is thought to have had some trouble getting it going again.

Alan’s show Interior Design Masters sees him trying to redecorate four beach huts in Walton On The Naze in Essex.   

He is set to replace Fearne Cotton as host for the BBC shows second series.

Lisa also gave fans a glimpse into their time at the beach on Wednesday as she shared a selfie to Instagram.

The snap saw Alan and Lisa in masks, socially-distanced, with the comedian in the backdrop brandishing a large stick.

The funny man was comically prodding Lisa from afar, as she snapped the moment.

Lisa wrapped up warm against the blustery coastal climes in a red fur-trimmed jacket with a floral mask.

Alan also wore red – a windbreaker paired with jeans.

The make-up artist gushed about the thoughtful gift she had received which highlighted her love for her adorable seven-year-old chocolate Labrador. 

Lisa’s £134.95 blanket looked perfect for keeping warm in the rainy weather and boasted a splattering of cream stars across the red fabric.

The dog mum often shares snaps of her cute dog Hurley, who turned seven in June, showing them relaxing together and playing with tennis balls. 

Earlier this month, Lisa was seen taking the final steps in her split from Ant as her belongings were removed from their £5 million former marital home.

Removals men were seen taking a plethora of items out of the house, including artwork, a sofa and a Power Plate Pro5 Vibration Plate, costing £1,195.

The make-up artist, who has resumed work on Strictly Come Dancing and just released a cosmetics line, made a bold statement as she left her famous ex-husband’s unwanted possessions on the pavement for passers-by to take.  

Lisa split from Ant in 2018 after 12 years of marriage, and is now reported to be dating James Green. Lisa and Ant, who is now dating Anne-Marie Corbett, finalised their £62million divorce back in April after their split in January 2018. 

Lisa, who received £31 million in her divorce settlement from Ant, was clearing out the home of all beloved possessions, including her gym equipment.

In another stage of her moving process, she put goods in boxes marked ‘help yourself’ and put them outside her west London property as she prepares to move out of the marital home she formerly shared with her ex.

The items were easily identifiable as Ant’s because they included his Newcastle United shirts and a ‘Team Ant’ foam hand from Saturday Night Takeaway. There was also Ant’s old dressing gown and a pile of board games. 

She was also throwing out a bowl used by their beloved Labrador, Hurley, as well as a Banksy artwork calendar and a Jamie Oliver book.
