Channel 5 has commissioned a brand new show fronted by the star entitled, Underdog to Super Dog.
The four-part series will follow three ‘underdogs’ as they undergo a series of transformation to become ‘Super Dog’.
Across the programme, the pups will take part in a variety of challenges including modelling, mountain rescue and improving their fitness level.
The dedicated trainers will be hard at work to ensure that each dog is achieving its full ability and performing at its best.
The purposeful tasks will also help to heighten the mental health of the dogs and give them a sense of achievement and reward.
Both emotional and physical transformations will be required of the pups to see if they can pass the ultimate test to become a ‘Super Dog’.
Everything will take place under the watchful eye of Alan who has signed up to host the show when it arrives on screens next year.
Speaking of the show, Alan said: “Dogs have played such an important part in my life, both as a child in Yorkshire with a corgi/cairn and border terrier cross at my heels, to bringing up my family with three yellow Labradors.
“Their companionship and their resourcefulness are matchless, and I am looking forward hugely to watching the development of the dogs in this series as they prove their worth when given the chance to shine.”
Denise Seneviratne, Channel 5 and Paramount+’s Commissioning Editor added: “The amazing, transformative stories we will show in the series are true testament to the incredible work of the dedicated trainers and experts, and the dogs themselves who work so hard towards becoming real canine heroes.
“Heart-warming and funny, the dogs will go on a journey of discovery – and not always the ones they had planned on!
“Alan Titchmarsh will bring inimitable heart to this – he is a huge dog lover, and I am delighted he is part of it.”
It is the latest programme that Channel 5 has commissioned around dogs after Clare Balding‘s Lost Dogs Live.
The show centred on reuniting missing dogs with their owners as part of a live series.
