Graham Norton opts for a casual off-duty style as he makes a rare public outing with husband Jonathan McLeod on a dog walk in Hampstead
Graham Norton was spotted taking a relaxing dog walk with his husband Jonathan McLeod around Hampstead in North London on Sunday.
The couple, who got married last year, tend to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, so this was a rare sighting for them.
They were accompanied by their black cockapoo named Douglas, who walked faithfully alongside them as Jonathan maintained his lead.
Graham, who normally appears suited and well-dressed for his TV appearances, ditched his signature smart look for a more casual off-duty outfit.
The Graham Norton Show performer wore a beige sweater with white stripes on the chest, paired with a colorful denim and fleece jacket.

He added a pair of jeans to the outfit, along with a pair of white sneakers. Graham completed the look with a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Jonathan also opted for an understated ensemble: he wore a khaki sweater and jacket with a floral print, jeans and sneakers.
Earlier this year, Graham broke his silence on his marriage to Jonathan, revealing that he married the filmmaker in July 2022.
The news surprised his fans due to the private nature of their relationship.
But in a new interview, he has now revealed the details of their wedding and what it was like getting married later in their lives.
Graham and Jono tied the knot at Bantry House in Ireland last summer after opting for an Irish wedding to accommodate the former’s mother, Rhoda Walker.
The lavish performance was held in his native West Cork, where 120 guests were in attendance, with a rumored performance from music icon Lulu, while drag queen Panti Bliss performed.
Graham has now told it The guard about the day he joked that “till death do us part” was “more attainable” at age 60.

He said: ‘I had a joke in my speech: the vows are much more manageable. ‘Till death do us part’ seems more feasible at our age.
‘If you get married at 23, that’s a big ask. We only have to put up with each other for a few decades. And then I’m out of here.’
Jonathan ‘Jono’ McLeod is an acclaimed Scottish filmmaker and the couple tied the knot in July last year, after meeting six years earlier.
After bringing together a host of stars for their glamorous Irish wedding, the couple have remained blissfully happy ever since.
Graham revealed at the time: ‘I got married this year and we had our wedding party close to where my mother lives in Ireland so she could come.
“She wouldn’t have been well enough to come to London, so West Cork it was. And it made me very happy.’
Happy Days! The couple is rarely seen together, apart from a rare photo in 2018 where they posed with friends
Speaking about their marriage, Graham continued: “It’s been good so far, it would be awful if it wasn’t at this stage, in a few months, I’d like to think even I could last a few months.
‘I belong to that generation of gays who assumed this would never happen. So first of all, it’s extraordinary that it could happen. I mean, I never gave up hope of finding the one. If it was a surprise, it was a pleasant surprise.”
Jono is a filmmaker recognized for his work by BAFTA Scotland.
