For the Love of Dogs fans criticise new host Alison Hammond for 'being scared ... trends now
For the Love of Dogs fans slammed new host Alison Hammond for not being a 'good fit' on the show during the latese episode.
The This Morning alum, 49, has taken over hosting duties on the ITV show from the late Paul O'Grady, who passed away aged 67 in March 2023.
Some viewers have been critical of Alison as her debut series airs, and during Tuesday's new episode fans several took to X - formerly Twitter - to suggest the star lacks 'empathy' for the pooches featured.
Some eagled-eye fans also mentioned the host seemed like she was 'scared' to pet the dogs.

Long-time viewers of the show inevitably compared her to Paul, remarking she has no pets of her own and therefore can't fully put her 'heart' into the stories of the dogs featured.
'I like Alison but there’s no way she should be on for the love of dogs, reading off a script, scared to even stroke the dogs!';Our Alison doesn’t like dogs why is she hosting this show LOL #ForTheLoveOfDogs'; 'Alison is so uneducated when it comes to animals, absolutely terrible presenter #ForTheLoveOfDogs';
'Programme just not good anymore lacking something. Why can’t the staff star in it or have different presenters each week ? #ForTheLoveOfDogs'; 'No heart in it. Other presenters would've been a better choice'.
Yet, other people have been enjoying Alison's new role and rushed to her defence, with some saying:
'I feel like the people tweeting are watching a different show to me - i think alison hammond is doing a great job! no, she’s never going to be paul o’grady but she’s not trying to be! he would want the show
