Paul O'Grady's husband Andre Portasio posted sweet Instagram message about star before sudden death

Paul O'Grady's husband shared a sweet message about the TV presenter and comedian just a week before his sudden death. In his final post about his partner, Andre Portasio praised Paul's commitment, dedication and talent.

Paul, also known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on Tuesday evening (March 28). He was 67.

His husband, a former professional ballerina, said 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."
