But faced with a super-cute puppy and a very worthwhile cause in this week’s spin-off special, Paul O’Grady’s For the Love of Dogs: Back in Business, it’s no surprise that he quickly succumbs to temptation!

Keen to help, Paul is introduced to a litter of Jack Russell cross puppies, and one, Dinky, who is renamed Nancy, joins the menagerie at Paul’s Kent farmhouse.
Here, Paul, 65, reveals how his beloved Battersea has risen to this unprecedented challenge and why little Nancy captured his heart…
