Paul O'Grady said he "counted his blessings" after having two heart attacks years before his tragic death.
Today's edition of Good Morning Britain celebrated the Birkenhead icon's legacy after he died last night aged 67. His husband issued a statement to confirm the Lily Savage star died "unexpectedly but peacefully". His cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
Paul, who had previously suffered from two heart attacks, was rushed to hospital in 2013 after being struck by an angina - chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles.
