Paul O'Grady has welcomed a new addition to his family this weekend and asked for help from his fans to name her.
Any fan of Paul will know of the love he has for animals so it will come as no surprise to find out he shares his home with a multitude of pets including a number of alpacas. Taking to Instagram, the 67-year-old shared the news that one of his furry friends had given birth.
The For the Love of Dogs presenter posed with the new cria as he asked his fans for help. He captioned the post: "One of my alpacas gave birth this morning. Here she is 10 minutes after she popped out. No name yet Any suggestions? She’s got my legs. #alpaca #cria."
