I heard Cilla demanded ITV have this woman crucified live on air or she would quit the show. Paul O'Grady had to come in and reason with her. She eventually settled for getting to personally euthanize five large dogs.

[@slaterslater5944]

...and not with the blue fluid in a syringe but a 40 pound sledgehammer.

That's huge from dog lover O'Grady. Can't have been easy. Gone up in my estimation. RIP

Five large dog shaped (or small human shaped) shadows were later bludgeoned to death, incident unrelated.

9:58 "But you didn't pull the wool over our eyes" She got on the show and won the date and went on the date. Wool well and truly pulled up until that point.
