Alan Carr has recalled Paul O'Grady's comments about 'going to heaven' in a heartbreaking tribute following his death. The comedian took to Instagram with a snap of himself and Paul out for dinner which many of the late star's celebrity pals have said could last '10 hours'.
The image showed Alan and Paul with chips sticking out of their mouths as if to mimic cigarettes as they stared into the camera. The post comes after it was announced that comedian and TV star Paul had died on Tuesday evening (March 28), aged 67.
His partner Andre Portasio confirmed in a statement that O'Grady, who rose to fame on the nightclub circuit as the acerbic, platinum wig-wearing Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" in a statement issued in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Mr Portasio said: "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."
