Alison Hammond wins over the public as host of For The Love Of Dogs after shaky ... trends now
Alison Hammond appeared to win over the public as she returned as host for the latest episode of For The Love Of Dogs on Tuesday.
The television presenter, 49, got a mixed response from viewers as she made her debut on the ITV programme earlier this month, with some members of the audience at home unsure if channel bosses had picked the right person to front the series.
The late Paul O'Grady hosted the show for 11 series up until shortly before his death last year.
It was announced in January that This Morning's Alison would be taking up the presenting spot for the latest series.
And despite a shaky start to the series earlier this month, viewers took to social media to praise her this week.
