Paul O'Grady's friend and actress Linda Thorson joined Good Morning Britain on Thursday to open up on her friendship with the iconic star as she revealed how the presenter died.
In a statement released by Paul's husband Andre Portasio, it was confirmed the presenter and comedian died "unexpectedly but peacefully" at the age of 67 on Tuesday.
Speaking about her friend, Linda told Susanna Reid and Adil Ray: "He was so happy, full of life. But he died in his own bed, his husband was there, Andre the most divine man who he has been with for many years. He's only 41, he will be so bereft of Paul, he worshipped Paul.
