Paul having fun with Olga in 2014
Paul O’Grady revealed the sad news today that his beloved dog Olga died on Saturday.
The 62-year-old star told the Sunday Mirror: “She was ready to go. At least I will have a good night’s sleep now. I have been up with her for two nights on the sofa. She’s been up in the night vomming and things.
“It’s the hardest thing to do but it’s the only thing to do. I knew it wasn’t Olga any more, she was a state. I shed my tears earlier on in the week. It’s heartbreaking but she had a great life. She loved television studios.”
Olga, a 14-year-old Cairn terrier cross, certainly did love TV studios. Here we celebrate some of her most memorable moments on the box….
