Following a delay of a week, the final episode of For the Love of Dogs aired on ITV last night.

The hit show, which has been airing since 2012, usually airs on a Wednesday night. However, due to the football last week, the show’s finale was moved to Sunday, March 13.

Paul took to Instagram yesterday to share the news with his 644k followers that last night’s episode would be the last of the series.

“Arfur and Conchita taking it easy on the Lisa Dingle Memorial Blanket. The chair is covered up because Sausage ate the arm and took a chunk out of the back,” he wrote.

“PogDogs is on at 7pm tonight on ITV and it’s the last one in the series.”

“Can’t believe it the last one. Hope there is a new series soon. Love the show,” another said.

“Can’t wait to see tonight’s episode so sad it’s the last one in the series hopefully there will be some more,” another fan wrote on Paul’s Instagram.

What else has Paul O’Grady been up to?

The end of For the Love of Dogs is yet more disappointing news for Paul’s fans recently.

Last month it was announced that Paul was going to be taking a break from BBC Radio 2.

The 66-year-old usually hosted the 5pm-7pm slot on Sundays for the radio station. However, it was announced last month that he would be taking a few months off.

Comedian Rob Beckett is now hosting Paul’s old slot. However, the arrangement isn’t forever. Paul is set to return to host his show sometime in May.

It seems that fans of the comedian will have to wait a while longer to get their next fix of Paul!
