One man and his dog: Little Britain's Matt Lucas cuts a lonely figure in the park
Last updated at 14:00pm on 21.07.08
Matt Lucas was so busy teaching his dog some new tricks he didn't spot the sign telling him to keep it on a lead.
The lonely Little Britain star, who split from "husband" Kevin McGee last month, took their chocolate labrador for a walk in Paddington Street Garden yesterday.
He and Mr McGee apparently have joint custody of the mutt and have walked it together since the break-up.

Photographs of Mr McGee, 31, holding hands with a mystery man emerged yesterday.
And it seems that Lucas, 33, was getting his own back as he met a male friend in the park and shared a joke with him while teaching the lab to jump for sticks.
Lucas, who returned to the UK from America with co-star David Walliams on Friday, "married" Mr McGee in a civil partnership two years ago.

They spent periods apart while Lucas worked in the US.
The split was said to be amicable and they were seen together a week later having a sombre conversation over a coffee.
Lucas spent time in LA earlier this month with Walliams as they promoted their new TV show Little Britain USA, which will screened on HBO and BBC America.
