ITV paid a 'silent' tribute to Paul O'Grady as the last ever series of For The Love Of Dogs with the late entertainer began. Series 11 of the hit TV show was filmed last year before O'Grady's 'unexpected' death, aged 67, last month.
The TV and radio star, also known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on the evening of March 28, his husband Andre Portasio confirmed. "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 added in a statement.
"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."
