ITV Corrie legend Sally Lindsay appears in tears on This Morning as she brushes off show mistake to pay tribute to Paul O'Grady

Coronation Street legend Sally Lindsay paid an emotional tribute to her friend Paul O'Grady as she appeared on This Morning following news of his death, aged 67. The TV star and comedian died 'unexpectedly', his partner confirmed in the early hours of Wednesday morning (March 29).

Andre Portasio said that O'Grady, also known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on Tuesday evening (March 28). Tributes have since been flooding from famous faces and fans alike while also many of the daytime show speaking to those who knew Paul.

On This Morning, Holly Willoughby and her new co-host Joel Dommett were re-joined by Vanessa Feltz, who had earlier shared her thoughts and memories following Paul's passing, as they hosted a phone-in for viewers to get in touch. "There have been so many," Vanessa revealed. "The lines have been aflame with people just wanting to say how wonderful he was."
