Alison Hammond has clapped back at trolls after receiving unexpected criticism for her new role on For The Love of Dogs. The beloved This Morning star has stepped into the shoes of the late Paul O'Grady, who sadly passed away last year, as the host of the heartwarming show.
Alison's debut left fans divided, but addressing the negative comments, Alison expressed her shock to The Sun: "I was actually surprised with how much I got for doing the show. I could understand in the sense that Paul was so loved and people were saying: 'How can she do Love Of Dogs when she doesn't have a dog? How does she love dogs when she doesn't have a dog?'"
Having a laugh about the whole thing, the TV presenter said: "Trolls will be trolls and I'll still do what I do best, which is TV presenting and you'll see for yourself, I think it's authentic and I loved doing it. Trolls are trolls, it says more about them than it does me, really. I would never troll anybody, even if I thought it, I wouldn't go online and put it down."
