She was thrilled when it was announced last year she would be stepping into the late Paul O’Grady’s shoes as host of For The Love Of Dogs.
But it appears that Alison Hammond is struggling to build the rapport her predecessor enjoyed with the ITV show’s four-legged friends – crew members say she is scared of big dogs.
Ms Hammond, 49, has never owned a dog, and while she apparently adores meeting smaller breeds during shoots for the programme at London’s Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, larger ones are said to startle her.
One source said: ‘The show is only in very early pre-production filming and Alison is great, but she finds the bigger dogs frightening.
‘She loves cuddling up to the little cute ones but then you come across a massive one and it’s a different story. But then unless you’re used to being around dogs it is intimidating.’
