Ant also wore a navy quilted jacket and straight-cut jeans whilst he layered up from the cold with a pair of thick black gloves.
Proving that dog really is man's best friend, Ant seemed chirpy as he strolled with his pet pooch on the lead, before letting Hurley jog ahead.
Ant's outing came after his wife Lisa Armstrong defended their union, when a Twitter troll accused her of 'throwing away her marriage'.

The Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist told a social media user to 'get their facts right' when they reportedly begged her to understand Ant's recovery from an addiction to pain medication.
Lisa, 41, entered into a Twitter spat on Sunday amid claims husband Ant, 42, has moved into a rented home during the Christmas period.
A post of Lisa's Twitter account reads: 'Educate yourself first love and get your facts rights. You don’t know!! Sorry for your pain x'

According to the Daily Star, she was replying to a user who wrote:'Can't believe your throwing your marriage away after all them years. (sic)
'I've been addicted to codeine and unless you have been there you wouldn't understand waking up in morning kidneys hurting for the habit to be fed educate yourself about it first @LisaAmakeup.'
Last month Lisa finally broke her silence on reports of marital woes with Ant following his battles with addiction.

She took to Twitter to hit back at the long-running reports that the duo have separated, as she penned on the microblogging site: 'I'm not estranged thank you'.
She added that she hadn't been to Australia for 10 years so it wasn't a surprise that she hadn't joined Ant in the jungle during his stint on I'm A Celebrity.
Instead, she stayed in the UK for her work with BBC One's Strictly and Ant returned to England from Australia last week, but it's claimed that he did not return to their marital home.

The television presenter was seen moving a mattress into a bachelor pad over the weekend, while his pal Declan Donnelly returned his beloved dog Hurley.
Ant has reportedly been living away from make-up artist Lisa since he returned from Oz, renting a house a few streets away.
The source continued: 'Dec has been acting as go-between and has been helping Ant a lot.
'He brought Hurley round to the flat for Ant as he settles in to his new place. Normally Ant goes to pick up the dog himself but this time he didn't.'

The sighting comes after rumours he will spend Christmas with his wife, 'even if it is their last'.
According to sources close to Ant, he is keen to spend another festive season with his wife of eleven years, even if it is their last one.
'She's said they will see each other over Christmas,' a source told Heat. 'Lisa would rather stay friendly than be resentful. She doesn't want to ruin what they had – this isn't a blame game.
'Ant wants to spend this Christmas with Lisa as her husband – even if this could be the last time,' they added.
