The 44-year-old stand-up let the pug loose in his sprawling home for Channel 4’s Celebrity Snoop Dogs.
The show, which sees the family pet rampage about with a camera strapped to its back, revealed a very fancy study – and a ‘man cave’ in the garden shed.
Though he was brought up in Essex, Russell now lives in the suburbs of Cheshire, north west England, with wife Lindsey Cole and their four-year-old daughter Mina.
Speaking about their house, he said: “There’s a lot of things in my house that would give away what I do for a living – comedy, I’m quite literary.
“Even though I live in Cheshire it’s nowhere near as Essex-y as you would expect.
“Yes, I’ve got the drop-down screen. But you’d probably be expecting some marble lions, a few Rolexes turning in a case charging themselves.
“Some Ferrari keys thrown down. I think people would be surprised to know that I drive an old banger that I love.
“The question I get asked is most often is ‘why have you got all those books’ like there’s no way I could have read them.
“Just because I sound like a moron. But there’s lot of comedy stuff in there.”
