Liverpool is buzzing with Eurovision excitement as the action builds towards the grand final this Saturday, May 13. Now the BBC have added to that excitement and broken our hearts all over again as a new promo film features the late Paul O'Grady.
The TV and radio host, and Scouse legend, died suddenly in March and has been on screen weekly since his passing in the new series of, For the Love of Dogs. His appearance in the BBC welcome film sees the much-loved personality sweeping his kitchen in a pinny with a dog underarm as he turns and smiles at the camera. His contribution was included with the blessing of his family.
Paul is just one of a handful of stars appearing in the video including The Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood, The Royle Family's Ricky Tomlinson (in a nod to his Brookside role as Bobby Grant) and Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin, who is from Ukraine, the winning country from 2022 on whose behalf the UK is hosting.
