Paul O'Grady's secret wife has spoken of her sadness following her beloved friend's death.
Teresa Fernandes was secretly married to the popular TV star for 28 years and told the Daily Mail: "We probably enjoyed one of the longest marriages in showbiz." Paul, an openly gay man, previously admitted he had married Teresa, who was Portuguese, in 1977 to stop her from being deported.
He met her in a gay club where they worked, and he decided to marry her out of "convenience" and to stop her being "hassled" by her family. They legally divorced in 2005 after being married for 28 years, but Paul said he had never been in a relationship with her.
