Noel Fitzpatrick returns to Channel 4 with his beloved documentary The Supervet for another episode tonight (August 1). And it’s the 19th run of the popular show.
As much as he loves being around pets, viewers love watching them, but there’s a devastating reason why he seeks solace with animals. In fact, for years, he admitted he “didn’t trust people” at all.
So who is the man behind the vet’s mask? Where is the Irish vet based, and how old is he? Who is his famous ex-girlfriend, and why has he said he’d never marry?
Here’s everything you need to know about Noel Fitzpatrick, and the traumatic childhood that stole his trust…
Noel Fitzpatrick returns in The Supervet season 19
Noel Fitzpatrick recently returned with series 19 of The Supervet. This time, the rescue special features the amazing stories – old and new – of some of the animals for whom Noel has provided extraordinary and life-saving treatment since The Supervet began in 2014.
Viewers will also meet the families at the centre of their inspiring stories.
Animals featured include rescue whippet Wobble, who we first met in 2015. At that time, he was only a year old and was wobbling due to a compression fracture in her neck.
Meanwhile, we meet German Shepherd rescue Bran again. He first went to Fitzpatricks in 2019, and received an innovative custom total hip replacement – the first of its kind for a three-legged dog.
