Paul O’Grady fans have been left disappointed after the comedian quit his BBC Radio 2 show.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the Birkenhead-born TV and radio star posted an image of his mic which he uses in the radio studio. He explained that it would be his penultimate show, meaning Sunday (August 14) would be his last before he is pulled off air.
The 67-year-old is an ideal performer, known for his calming personality and wicked sense of humour, but there has also been some drama over the years.

Here, we take a look at his husband and his family life. Paul has been married to ballet ace Andre Portasio - 25 years his junior - since 2017, MyLondon reports.
The pair said "I do" at a quick ceremony in the gardens of The Goring Hotel in London. On the marriage Paul has said: “You feel more committed. You have made a vow, you have to stick to it. But we still fight like cat and dog.”
They started dating in 2006 but prior to that Paul was married to his Portuguese model wife. Paul admitted it was a "marriage of convenience", saying he wedded Teresa Fernandes in 1977 to stop her from being deported.
He also said he was "not in a relationship” with her. Paul said: “Teresa, I call her the lesbian Portuguese barmaid, was lovely. She looked like David Cassidy.
“We worked in a club in London, when I was 22. She was from a very strict Catholic family and was always being hassled by them: ‘Why aren’t you getting married?’ So I said: ‘Come on then, we’ll get married’, and we did.
“We were married for 27 years. I had no idea we were still married until my manager Brendan said: ‘If anything happened to you, everything would go to your wife. It’s like a real-life Corrie story-line.”
Paul also has a daughter - and two grandchildren - but he didn’t have her with Teresa. In 1974 Paul had his daughter, Sharon, with his friend Diane Jansen.
Paul has a good relationship with his only child and even gave her away at her wedding when she married her childhood friend Philip Moseley. Paul said: “It was a really great day. Sharon looked fabulous and Philip is a smashing fella. They fit together like a pan and a lid.
“Sharon wore a lovely floaty pale pink dress – because she looks shocking in white. She looked like a Disney princess."
