The Birkenhead- born TV presenter and comedian died 'unexpectedly but peacefully' on Tuesday evening
Paul O’Grady has died at the age of 67, his partner Andre Portasio has said.
The Birkenhead- born TV presenter and comedian, also known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died “unexpectedly but peacefully” on Tuesday evening, a statement shared with the PA news agency via a representative said.
Mr Portasio said in his statement: “It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.”
“We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.
“He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion.
“I know that he would want me to thank you for all the love you have shown him over the years.”
During his career, he hosted The Paul O’Grady Show, Blind Date and Blankety Blank, as well as ITV’s multi-award-winning For The Love Of Dogs.
He also hosted ITV celebrity game show, Paul O’Grady’s Saturday Night Line Up.
O’Grady took over the reins from Blind Date’s long-running presenter and his close friend Cilla Black, who died in 2015, as he hosted the Channel 5 reboot of the show in 2017.
Last year he was joined by the Queen Consort in a special one-off episode of For The Love Of Dogs to mark 160 years of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, an organisation for which he was an ambassador.
In August of 2022 he presented his final BBC Radio 2 show having hosted the Sunday afternoon programme for nearly 14 years.

It's all Trumps fault that he/she/they died before the weekend of VENGENCE!!!
his partner Andre Portasio has said.
I stopped right there.
Apparently another fag bites the dust
In his case he bit the pillow, not the dust.

A good synonymn for “bites the dust” is “goes to his eternal reward”.
Another faggot for the furnace, dear Saint Michael?
I wonder if he died on the shitter....
Oh
Snortle!!!
What’s more, although I watch a lot of Brit TV on Brit Box and Acorn, I never heard of any of the noted programs.
Since all new Brit programs now feature a queer or two, he must have been a nothingness
