Ant and wife Anne-Marie were reportedly out with their own dogs when the incident happened.
The onlooker apparently told The Sun: “The moment the woman collapsed the dogs all ran off in different directions. Ant immediately sprang into action to round them up.
“He was a real hero as they could have easily run into oncoming cars. He returned them to the woman, checked she was OK and helped her to her feet like a true gent.”
They added: “He chatted to her before continuing his ramble. It’s clear Ant is an animal lover and wanted to help.”
In images obtained by The Sun, Ant and Anne-Marie are seen checking on the woman alongside all the dogs.
ED! has contacted reps for Ant for comment.
Winning back support
The heroic act appeared to go some way to helping Ant rehabilitate his image following his drink-drive arrest. Fans flooded ED!’s Facebook page with comments, hailing the BGT host.
Good on him – he’s still down to earth and an all-round good guy!
One said: “Well done Ant!” Another added: “Well done you superstar!” A third commented: “You both could take over for Paul O’Graidy. God rest his soul. Hard one to follow, but For The Love of Dogs. You two would be great at it. Would see your softer sides.”
“What a nice guy,” said another. “I love Ant and Dec!! Good on him – he’s still down to earth and an all-round good guy!” another concluded.
BGT this weekend
Ant is currently on screens with the new series of Britain’s Got Talent. He co-hosts the ITV show alongside TV pal Dec Donnelly.
During Saturday’s edition of BGT, a woman left viewers emotional when she gave up her audition. She decided to give up her audition for her 15-year-old daughter.
Claire walked on stage and told the judges: “I’m a full-time mother and I’m here with my 15-year-old daughter. She thinks it’s me auditioning. She’s got me through some very hard times in my life and I feel like I owe her, so I’m giving up my audition for my daughter.”
As the judges seemed slightly confused, Claire clarified: “I’m giving up my audition today for Tia. This is my way of saying she’s fabulous because she deserves it and she’s an incredible person. Tia doesn’t know how good she is.”
Tia then came on stage and after getting herself together, she performed. Won over by the performance, the judges sent her through.
Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV on Saturday April 29 at 8pm.
