Friends of a Wirral man have said he would be "beaming and giddy" after Paris Hilton paid tribute to him.
The death of Drew Cockton, 36, was confirmed by his family yesterday (Sunday, October 23). In a Facebook post his mum Kate said: “We are truly, utterly heartbroken to have to tell you that our beloved Drew Peter George Cockton (my gorgeous boy) died peacefully at home yesterday. We are devastated beyond belief. Life is never, ever going to be the same again. Rest peacefully darling boy."
The Wirral-based entrepreneur was the owner of the vegan fragrance brand, Owen Drew, and triumphed on the BBC series after scooping a £50,000 investment for his business from Dragon Touker Suleyman. Drew was also an LGBTQ+ campaigner and on Friday evening held the second North West LGBTQ+ Business Awards, which he founded, at Liverpool's Titanic Hotel.
