Lily Allen has been called out by a couple of radio hosts after sharing the reasoning behind returning her family dog.
The British singer revealed that the pooch actually ‘ruined her life' after it stopped her children from seeing their father for the first time in months, leading her to take her ‘back to the home'.
However, Australian radio hosts, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson from the Kyle and Jackie O Show, have since weighed in on the 39-year-old's decision after learning of the story that she told on the BBC-commissioned Miss Me? podcast with Miquita Oliver.

The Brit-winner spoke about pets on the podcast episode, revealing: “We actually did adopt a dog already, but then it ate my passport and so I took her back to the home.
“She ate all three of our passports [her and her two children] and they had our visas in.
“And I cannot tell you how much money it cost me to get everything replaced, because it was in Covid and so it was just an absolute logistical nightmare.
“And because the father of my children lives in England, I couldn't take them back to see their dad for like four months, five months, because this f***ing dog had eaten the passports.

“And I just couldn't look at her. I was like ‘you've ruined my life',” Allen admitted.
‘The Fear' singer also said that she was a ‘very badly behaved dog' on top of everything after trying to train her, with the passports proving as the ‘final straw'.
During today's (23 August) Friday's Kyle and Jackie O Show, Sandilands and Henderson responded to the story and her reasoning, criticising her decision to give the little dog back.
“Poor puppy,” Jackie said, as Kyle added: “I'm off her now.”
He continued to say: “Look, I understand the annoyance. But all the passports just laying on the floor with a brand new dog?”
“Isn't that all on you? You had them in a place where a puppy could access it?” Jackie added.

With Kyle struggling to describe her behaviour, Jackie simply said it was ‘cold', which he reaffirmed, admitting that it was ‘very cold' of her to give the dog back to the shelter.
But now, Allen says that the family is ready for another puppy, as per The Daily Mail.
Speaking to broadcaster Steve Jones, Allen said: “We maybe are getting a new puppy in the next couple of weeks.
“Me and the girls have been thinking about a name and we settled on Jude Bellingham.”
LADbible has contacted Allen's reps for comment.
