ITV has issued an update on For The Love Of Dogs following the death of Paul O'Grady.
The television network announced it will air a number of shows in tribute to the TV star and comedian. The change of schedule comes following the death of Paul on Tuesday at the age of 67.
One of his most popular shows is Paul O'Grady's For The Love Of Dogs. He became an ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2012, following the success of For The Love Of Dogs, 11 series of which were filmed at the home.

Paul was given a special recognition award at the 2018 National Television Awards for the impact For The Love Of Dogs had on helping find homes for rescue animals nationwide. During an interview after the first series in September 2012, he said it was "hand on heart... one of the nicest jobs I've ever had" and praised the home as "a magical place".
Tonight at 5pm on ITV1, Paul O'Grady's For The Love Of Dogs: A Royal Special, which featured an appearance from the Queen Consort, will air instead of The Chase.
The 11th series of Paul O'Grady: For The Love Dogs will launch on April 13. ITV's managing director of media and entertainment Kevin Lygo said: "We are fortunate to have had a long association with Paul, at ITV.
"He was a huge, inimitable talent, delighting our viewers through his comedy and entertainment with a warmth, humour and joy that audiences of all generations related to and connected with."
