Alison Hammond, 49, cuddles up to pups in need of love ahead of For The Love Of Dogs episode two - after finding a love of her own with Russian boyfriend David Putman, 26
The next instalment in the new series of ITV's Battersea Dogs & Cats home show, formerly presented by Paul O'Grady, is set to air on Tuesday evening.
According to The Sun, Alison was a client of the professional masseur and it was during a session that the pair first hit it off, with the presenter visiting David in between her busy filming schedule. But many others pointed out her lack of a rapport with the pups and slammed the host as 'totally the wrong choice' to fill the late comedian's shoes, dubbing her 'dull as dish water'. After the announcement that she would take over, MailOnline revealed in March that Alison had been struggling to build the rapport her predecessor enjoyed with the ITV show's four-legged friends – crew members say she is scared of big dogs.
