She said: ‘She was very badly behaved and I tried very hard for her but it just didn’t work. The passports were the straw that broke the camel’s back.’

Following her comments, many of Lily’s fans shared their thoughts on X, criticizing the star for choosing to send the puppy “back home.”

The Not Fair hitmaker added that replacing her documents proved to be a “logistical nightmare”.

She also revealed that her ex-husband Sam Cooper wouldn’t allow her to use her current husband David Harbour’s last name on the replacement passports – a point of contention with the Stranger Things actor.

But despite her nightmare with her previous dog, Lily says she plans to get another dog. She and her daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie, 11, have decided to name the dog Jude Bellingham, after the footballer.

Lily didn’t specify which dog she was referring to, but we can assume it was the puppy named Mary that she and David adopted from the New York nonprofit Animal Haven in 2021.

She said, “We actually already adopted a dog, but it ate my passport. That’s why I took her back to the shelter.”

‘She ate all three of our passports and our visas were in there too.

“And I can’t tell you how much money it cost me to replace everything because it was COVID and so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.

‘And because my children’s father lives in England, I couldn’t take them to their father until four or five months later, because that bloody dog ​​had eaten their passports.

“And I just couldn’t look at her. I thought, ‘You’ve ruined my life.'”

The Smile hitmaker continued: ‘Passports weren’t the only thing she ate, she was a very badly behaved dog and I tried really hard with her but it just didn’t work and the passports were the straw that broke the camel’s back.’

When asked on her Miss Me? podcast whether her new passport would take the surname of her husband Harbour, whom she married two years ago, two years after divorcing contractor Cooper, she replied: ‘No, and that’s a bit of a contentious issue.

‘I still have my ex-husband’s name because I have two children with him. It’s difficult to travel with children if you don’t have the same last name.

‘And he didn’t like me changing the kids’ names to Harbour, so I kept my ex-husband’s name.

‘David and I have joint bank accounts, so it’s pretty annoying to him that I have my Amex card with my ex-husband’s name on it. I’m sure it stings.’

Lily said the new puppy the family has their sights set on is a Chihuahua mix.

She told her boyfriend, presenter Steve Jones: ‘We might be getting a new puppy in a couple of weeks.

‘The girls and I thought about a name for a long time and we decided on Jude Bellingham.’
