The late Paul O'Grady gave a frank response when he was previously asked how he'd like to be remembered after his passing. He was speaking to the The Guardian in November 2021 when he gave the typical humorous response.
"I don't care, because I won't be here," he said. The Mirror reports how Paul opened up on his "bad heart attack" 20 years ago in the interview. He also revealed his biggest fear would have been finding a rat swimming in his toilet.
The comedian-turned-presenter died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on Tuesday evening, his partner Andre Portasio said in a statement. Paul will be most remembered for his role as drag queen Lily Savage, which he began in the 1970s while he was working as a peripatetic care officer for Camden Council.
