Paul O’Grady has been remembered as a “force for good” by his famous friends including Carol Vorderman, Julian Clary and Michael Cashman during a TV tribute. Celebrities paid tribute to the drag queen turned TV and radio star during For The Love Of Paul O’Grady on ITV1 on Sunday evening, following his death last month at the age of 67.
Remembering O’Grady for his activism, TV personality Vorderman, 62, said: “He was not only brilliant as an entertainer, he was a force for good.”
Former Labour Party leader Ed Miliband added: “He wasn’t just a fighter for the underdog, somebody who was willing to use his platform to speak up for people who didn’t have a platform, didn’t have a voice, but he could do it in a totally compelling way, much more compelling than any politician.”
