Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has been “overwhelmed and touched” by donations from the public which have passed £100,000 after the unexpected death of the charity’s ambassador Paul O’Grady, aged 67.
The iconic TV and radio presenter became an ambassador for Battersea in 2012 after the success of ITV’s multi-award-winning For The Love Of Dogs, 11 series of which were filmed at the home.
It comes following Paul's tragic death on Tuesday evening when the animal charity set up a “tribute fund” which has raised more than £100,000.
