ITV honour Paul O'Grady with urgent schedule changes to remember late TV icon

Paul O'Grady has sparked a number of schedule changes from ITV, who have lined up a number of programmes to honour the late star, after his death at the age of 67.

On Wednesday morning, Brits woke up to the devastating news that the legendary entertainer, famous for giving the world Lily Savage had passed away on Tuesday evening, with husband Andre Portasio releasing a statement which 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.

“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.”
