Paul O'Grady's secret wife speaks out on his death after 28 years of marriage

A woman who married Paul O'Grady in the 1970s has spoken out about his death. Paul previously admitted he had married Portuguese ex wife Teresa Fernandes in 1977 to stop her from being deported.

Teresa Fernandes was married to the much-loved star for 28 years, as Paul previously said he had forgotten he had married the barmaid all those years ago. It was only when his manager Brendan reminded him that he remembered. His manager had told him: "If anything happened to you, everything would go to your wife. It's like a real-life Corrie storyline", the Mirror reports.

Teresa has now revealed her sadness over her beloved friend's death. "We probably enjoyed one of the longest marriages in showbiz!" she quipped to the Daily Mail.
