This is the moment pop star Mark Owen has a close call of nature with his pesky doberman Arnold — as the dog tries to wee on him.
The Take That singer is dragged along by his powerful pet as he struggles to demonstrate to Channel 4’s Supervet, Noel Fitzpatrick, how the pooch is limping.
The animal, named after Terminator actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, must have been thinking: “I’ll pee back,” as he veered towards a bollard, with Mark hanging on to his lead and trying to tug him back.
And as the dog cocks his leg, Mark inadvertently gets in the way and has to take a sharp step backwards to avoid being in Arnold’s firing line.
Viewers of last night’s episode were in hysterics watching Noel video the doberman to assess the problem, telling the singer: “He’s strong, isn’t he? He’s not a dancer. He would never make Take That on stage.”
At that moment, Arnold rushes for a pit stop as Mark exclaims: “Oh! He’s going to wee on me!”
The incident didn’t pass viewers by, and they expressed their sympathy for the star on social media.
Poor Mark, first being dragged by his dog then his dog nearly wees on him lmao #Supervet

Noel diagnosed the dog with serious knee cartilage damage requiring an urgent operation and stem cell surgery.
But after going under the knife another couple of times, Arnold was soon bounding around again… this time off his lead without dragging his owner into any perilous situations.
