Funnyman Dave Hughes has revealed the extreme lengths he goes to in order to keep in shape.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Dave, 54, shared a clip that showed him attempting to work up a sweat with some push-ups in a park.
However, Dave’s workout session was made that much more difficult thanks to his new rescue puppy Ginger.
As he attempted to begin his exercise, the playful pooch bounded into frame, clearly ready for her close-up.
Not content with being on camera, Ginger then proceeded to jump on Dave’s back while playfully gnawing on the nape of his neck.
Dave persisted with his workout, but eventually gave up after it became apparent that there was no chance of calming Ginger down.

The clearly miffed comedian then tried re-adjusting his phone, before a curious Ginger got up close and personal with Dave’s derrière.
‘Listening to Crowded House and doing push-ups is harder since we got rescue puppy Ginger,’ Dave wrote over the humorous clip.
Doubling down on the sentiment, he revealed the destruction Ginger left in her wake.
‘She chews my watch, my glasses, my phone and my head,’ Dave added in the caption.
The clip was met with a flurry of comments from fans, with many gushing over the puppy’s cuteness.
‘Argh!!! This is the cutest thing ever,’ one fan swooned, while another offered a similar ‘Beautiful ginger! Just perfect.’
Another was quick to point out Ginger’s innate sense of comic timing with
‘Hahahaha. Ohh it’s love. And the bum sniff clenches it. Hahahaha.,’ they wrote.

The funnyman confronted Kyle live on air earlier this month after he appeared to suggest he had ‘no sympathy’ for the shock jock Kyle after his shock brain aneurysm diagnosis.
Jackie ‘O’ Henderson told Dave his recent comments about Kyle seemed ‘out of character’.
Dave said he wasn’t even referring to Kyle’s diagnosis when he made the comment.
‘This is fake news. It’s misinformation,’ he said.
‘I wasn’t asked about Kyle’s health. Look, I just got out of the [I’m A Celebrity] jungle.
‘I had no idea who’s who was in good or bad health. So, I hadn’t heard about your brain aneurysm, Kyle.
‘The question was the ratings in different cities and like, you know, is there empathy about you guys in Melbourne? And that was the question I was asked.’
Kyle said that when reading the harsh words he wasn’t sure that they were even said by the funnyman.

‘That’s why I didn’t reply, because I thought, “S***, is this even Hughesy?”
‘And I was at home with my head all bandaged up and my eye bleeding and worried about dying and voting for you on the jungle. And I just felt so sad.’
Dave added it was actually his wife Holly that clued him in to Kyle’s diagnosis.
‘We had an exchange of text messages, and she said, “You know, he’s got a problem with his brain, don’t you?” I said, “no. I had no idea about your brain health.”
‘Obviously, I would not go in hard. Health is everything. We know that all this, all this rubbish we do on the radio is noise. Your health is the most important thing. So, I hope your brain is okay.’
Dave’s words appeared to placate Kyle who offered a ‘Thanks you, mate’ in response.
It appears that the two combatants have laid down their arms… for now.
