ITV shuts down claim Alison Hammond could be axed as For The Love of Dogs host

ITV has responded to claims that Alison Hammond, the host of For The Love of Dogs, could be let go from her current role. The popular This Morning presenter became the successor to Paul O'Grady's in January this year and spearheaded her first series last month.

"This new series is in the middle of its run and standard practice means no meaningful assessment of future plans would be made at this stage. Everyone's really pleased with the way Alison has brought her warmth and enthusiasm to the show and we hope viewers continue to enjoy it over the next month on ITV1 and on ITVX."

"Unfortunately the casting has not worked out how the team behind the show hoped the Express reports. "ITV are very disappointed because it's such a well-loved programme, and of course Alison is an ITV favourite too. But unfortunately sometimes in spite of everyone's best efforts, things just don't work out," they said.

The 49-year-old was announced as Paul O'Grady's successor following his unexpected death in March last year aged 67. The ITV star has acknowledged previously that she will never be able to replace Paul, but said she was "excited" about the role.
