Paul O’Grady on For The Love Of Dogs
Stella – a Staffordshire Bull Terrier – was taken to Battersea after being found walking the streets alone.
Paul explained that Battersea staff were unable to work out her exact age and named her themselves.
The star said: “She clearly hasn’t had a decent meal for some time. Look at the state of her – she’s so thin!”

Paul went on to reveal that Stella had a number of medical issues, as well as behavioural concerns.
The poor dog had adopted a habit of obsessively chewing to help relieve stress.
