Alison Hammond tipped to front Paul O'Grady For The Love Of Dogs
However, even when Alison started her career in the UK showbiz industry, she also had no idea she would make it big one day. The popular This Morning roving presenter is now tipped off to be the host of Paul O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs.
After the entertainer’s death last year, his beloved show was in jeopardy & ITV bosses were looking for a replacement. After big names like Amanda Holden and Ricky Gervais, This Morning star Alison Hammond has been finalised for fronting the show, reports The Mirror.
The documentary series first aired in 2012 & the 11th edition came out last year after Paul’s death. A source shared:
Paul is obviously irreplaceable but they believe that not only does Alison bring some of Paul’s trademark self-deprecating humour to proceedings, but that she can also make it her own, just as Paul did.
Alison would be a great signing... and as her ever-expanding portfolio of shows demonstrates, capable of putting her hand to anything.
