Paul O'Grady's For The Love of Dogs is to receive a visit from The Queen Consort Camilla for a Christmas special.
ITV is set to celebrate 160 years of Battersea Dogs & Cats Home with a one-off special episode airing around the festive season. The show follows Paul visiting the shelter to discuss the pets in their care that need to be rehomed or rehabilitated.
In the hour-long episode, The Queen Consort hosts a garden party at Clarence House to celebrate Battersea’s anniversary before joining Paul at Battersea’s Brands Hatch site in Kent.

Together they will meet some of the dogs struggling to be rehomed and assist with their treatment and care, in the hope of finding them a happy-ever-after home of their own in time for Christmas.
Battersea is currently incredibly busy due to an overwhelming number of dogs that are more difficult to rehome due to their older age, medical or behavioural issues. Discussing the influx of traffic, Paul said: "In the 11 years that I’ve been filming at Battersea, I’ve never known it so busy.
"What’s worrying is, there are a lot of dogs in here who would be classed as hard to home. Dogs with disabilities, blind dogs, you name it, we’ve got them in here at the moment."
With the situation becoming increasingly desperate, Paul will turn to his guest for help.
