'Christmas Is A Trial To Get Through!
His series For The Love of Dogs has won him countless awards, but while Paul O’Grady is putty in the hands of a pack of puppies, the former chat-show host admits he’s more like the Grinch at Christmas. Having just penned a book about his move to the country, Paul spills the beans on the pleasures and perils of rural life, and his plans for surviving the festive season.

So, you’re not really a fan of Christmas, Paul?

I can’t wait for the new year, when the whole expensive palaver is over. I dread it. I put up a tree and have a big dinner, but afterwards I think, ‘Thank God it’s over!’

How are you spending it this year?

I’m going to embrace it because my grandchildren are coming to stay, so my house is going to be like Santa’s grotto. I’ve got some bells and a phone app with reindeer sounds on it, so I’m going to stand outside at 11pm and rattle the bells. I might even get on the roof!

What do you like to watch on the box at Christmas?
