Paul O'Grady fans left in tears at late star's Eurovision semi final appearance

Paul O'Grady left viewers emotional with an appearance on Tuesday's Eurovision Song Contest semi-final as he featured in a heart-warming opening video celebrating the host city of Liverpool.

The charming cameo saw Paul at home holding one of his beloved dogs under his arm as he mopped the floor wearing a red polka-dot apron, before looking up to give viewers a smile. According to the BBC, the Eurovision film was one of the final things the star filmed before his death in March, aged 67.

Despite only being three seconds long, Paul's posthumous appearance left many viewers at home in tears, with his name trending on UK Twitter as fans paid tribute to the iconic Birkenhead-born star. One person said of the cameo: "A gorgeous little nod to the great and utterly fabulous Paul O'Grady in the opening titles to Eurovision."
