Paul had hosted the show since its first episode from 2012 up until his sudden death last year.

As the show returns in Paul's legacy with This Morning's Alison Hammond at the helm, fans have demanded a presenter shake-up.

They've called on Eamonn Holmes to take over the esteemed role.

Fans pointed out how Eamonn, 64, and his Loose Women star wife Ruth Langsford, 63, are huge animal lovers.

Posting on Instagram, Holmes could be seen leaning against one of their vans as he said: "Might be a good day to bring a little man like this Home - the one on the left that is @DogsTrust #Dogstrust Give a Dog a Home."

It prompted fans to call on him to replace Alison, 49, before the new series of For The Love of Dogs begins.

One said: "I think that you would have been the ideal choice for the late great Paul O’Grady."

A second wrote: "Eamonn should take over from Paul O Grady. Allison is not an Animal lover and does not have pets probably why This Morning had her holding the Dog."

"You would have been a great replacement for the late wonderful Paul O Grady on the @officialfortheloveofdogs," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "Yes I agree Eamonn ..You would be the perfect host to take over from Paul O Grady."

After being announced as the new host of For The Love of Dogs, Alison said: “I am very aware that I can never replace the iconic Paul in this wonderful series, but if I can continue to shine a light on the brilliant work done at Battersea and help to tell the stories of these beautiful dogs, then it will be an absolute privilege to give it my all.

“I can’t wait to share the joy of their searches for new loving forever homes and hopefully make lots of furry friends of my own along the way!”
