Paul O’Grady’s final hours

Paul O’Grady died suddenly back in March at the age of just 67, although his friends say he was laughing until the end – the TV icon is back on our screens tonight in ITV’s For The Love Of Dogs

The entertainment world was rocked by the sudden death of Paul O’Grady aged 67.

Iconic star Paul died “unexpectedly but peacefully” in March but according to those who knew the star, there was no sign that anything was wrong, with the comedian-turned-presenter said to have been laughing and smiling just hours before his tragic passing. According to Paul’s close friend and colleague Malcolm Prince, Paul was “full of life” when he called in for a visit at the Cheshire-born star’s home on the day he died.

In a heartfelt tribute, Malcolm tweeted: “I popped round to Paul’s for a good old catch-up. Surrounded by his beloved dogs, he was laughing, smiling, and full of life. He was so proud of (musical) ‘Annie’, so happy to be back on Boom Radio, and he was looking forward to so many new projects. And now he’s gone. I can’t believe it. We have lost a unique talent – and I’ve lost a dear friend. We were all lucky to have Paul in our lives. My heart goes out to Andre, Paul’s family, and friend. Oh how I’ll miss him.”

Malcolm and Paul worked together for years and were fan favourites on the comedian’s Radio 2 show. Paul and Andre moved in together following the pandemic. They shared their Adlington home in Kent with their beloved brood of animals including five rescue dogs, Nancy, Arfur, Conchita, Eddie and Sausage, as well as pigs, alpacas, chickens, sheep and goats.
