Jodie Prenger laughed off Kate Garraway's mistake as she made an emotional appearance on Good Morning Britain to chat about her friend Paul O'Grady. The actress and theatre star, who is currently starring in Coronation Street as Glenda Shuttleworth, was among those sharing their tributes last week when it was announced the comedian and TV star had died 'unexpectedly'.
There was an outpouring of shock and grief as O'Grady's death was confirmed by his husband Andre Portasio in a statement issued on March 29. He shared that O'Grady, also known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on the evening of March 28.
He added in his statement: "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."
