Channel 4's new show Celebrity Snoop Dogs debuted on Friday night, and it's safe to say viewers had never seen anything like it before! The programme offers a new twist on shows like Through The Keyhole, giving us the chance to look around a celebrity's home – but from a dog's eye view.

Crufts and Through The Keyhole had a baby and it's this series," and another adding: "#CelebritySnoopDogs is utterly brilliant! Far more highbrow than expected. It’s Grand Designs with dogs (literally) #KevinMcCloud narrating is superb."
Another Twitter user admired Shirley's stunning home, writing: "Shirley has a belting gaff," while a fourth fan had a suggestion for a new twist on the format, tweeting; "I hope they follow this up with a Celebrity Snoop Cats version. It would be great to see a GoPro view of a cat climbing up a curtain..."
