Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly‘s Graeme Hall has spoken out after the show was removed from Channel 5 without warning.

Viewers were left gutted on Tuesday night when they switched on and found a different show in its place.

The programme, which sees Graeme taming troublesome canines, had been swapped for The Yorkshire Vet.

And it is now off air for the foreseeable.

But Graeme has broken his silence as fans questioned what had happened in their droves.

Only seven episodes of Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly have aired so far this year, so they are desperate to know where the remaining shows from series 8 are.

Graeme took the unusual step of jumping onto Facebook on Wednesday evening to address his followers. The star, aka The Dogfather, usually has no involvement with his social media.

He previously admitted he has hired someone to look after his accounts so he doesn’t have to deal with unwanted and hurtful comments from trolls.

But amid the furore about where his C5 show had gone, Graeme clearly felt the need to speak out.

The Yorkshire-born dog trainer filmed a quick video as he was walking down the street in London. He told fans that he wanted to set the record straight.

With blue skies above him, Graeme said: “Now then, it’s that dog fella off the telly here. I’m not in my usual habitat, you’ll have noticed. I’m in London town for a change.

“So you might have noticed that we’ve got a bit of a gap in the current series of Dogs’ Behaving (Very) Badly. So what we’ve decided to do is give it a bit of a pause and then there’s more episodes coming back in the summer.

“There’s loads still to see. I think there’s nine episodes. Something like that – England, Wales. We’ve already been to Scotland, haven’t we? Northern Ireland. That’s a first, so that’s something to look forward to.

“All sorts of different dogs, all sorts of different problems. Loads!”

Graeme then added: “Rumour has it, there might be another series of Australia in the offering as well for everybody to see.

“Loads to look forward to, so see you soon!”
