The death of the nation's favourite dog-loving presenter has prompted a wave of tributes and outpouring of affection. Paul O'Grady's sudden passing aged 67 was announced today, Wednesday, March 29.
As well as tributes from fans, fellow celebs and royalty, ITV has rushed to add its recognition of the star, marking the sad event with a last-minute shake-up to its programming.
ITV has announced that it will be showing the Royal special of Paul's show. Using a fittingly timed slot to air the show, Paul's award-winning 'For The Love Of Dogs' will be broadcast instead of game show The Chase at 5pm today. This programming slot was formerly used to air Paul's self-titled teatime chat show.
