Alison Hammond hits back after trolls savaged This Morning star for replacing Paul O'Grady as host of For The Love Of Dogs: 'If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it'


The TV presenter, 49, will head to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home on the show to help the animals in its care look for a new place to live.

After she took over the role, Alison said: 'I am very aware that I can never replace the iconic Paul in this wonderful series, but if I can continue to shine a light on the brilliant work done at Battersea and help to tell the stories of these beautiful dogs, then it will be an absolute privilege to give it my all. 'We can't wait to welcome back the series with Alison; there will be all the fun and warmth that our viewers have come to expect whilst continuing to showcase the wonderful and important work done by the incredible team at Battersea.' 'Alongside our beloved ambassador, the late, great Paul O'Grady, we've enjoyed showing how much joy rescue animals can give, and we're pleased we can continue to shine a light on the work our charity undertakes every day to improve the lives of dogs and cats.
