ITV has confirmed the future of Paul O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs show after his tragic death.
On March 29 it was confirmed that British icon and TV legend Paul had tragically died.
The Lily Savage and Radio 2 star passed away “unexpectedly but peacefully” on Tuesday evening.
The telly favourite has presented a number of shows over the years, including fan favourite Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs.
After his death, some were wondering what the future held for the programme, but ITV have confirmed that the upcoming eleventh series will hit our screens as planned.
The programme, which first aired in 2012, will return on Thursday, April 13 on ITV at 8.30pm.
Paul was a huge animal lover – and the show would follow him around Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, meeting the animals and staff.
Many celebrity pals including Amanda Holden, Lorraine Kelly and Piers Morgan have paid tribute to the ‘brilliant’ star after his death.
Paul’s husband Andre Portasio confirmed the heartbreaking news.
He said: “It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.
“We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.
“He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion.
“I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years.”
