The late Paul O'Grady continued to perform and plan projects up until his tragic death last month but a friend of the star has revealed he was forced to give up a career he loved early on in his performing career.
In ITV's For The Love Of Paul O'Grady, the star's friends praised his alter-ego Lily Savage as they recalled his path to success.
Paul worked hard honing his act in front of adoring audiences in London's pubs and clubs but was eventually forced to make the "heartbreaking decision" to "give up the day job he loved" in order to progress his career.
