Will For the Love of Dogs continue without Paul O’Grady?
Other fans wondered if the show would continue without Paul O’Grady. One fan questioned: “I wonder if they will film anymore with a different presenter? He will be a hard act to follow, bless him.” A second fan responded: “I wondered that too but it will be hard to find someone that would match Paul’s love he had for the dogs and cats.”
PR Expert, Jack Cooper from EdHopkinsPR, previously told Entertainment Daily that Stephen Mulhern could be one candidate for the role. He said: “I firmly believe that no one can replace Paul, I do believe that the show’s legacy could continue under a new presenter who shares the same passion for animals.”
While ITV hasn’t confirmed if For the Love of Dogs will continue without Paul, for now, fans are so thankful for the final series with Paul.
