Paul O’Grady set to star in film posthumously to mark Eurovision opening

Paul O’Grady is among a host of famous faces appearing in a special short film to mark the opening of the Eurovision Song Contest and welcome the world to Liverpool.

The late comedian and TV stalwart, originally from Birkenhead, Merseyside, took part in the film to show his pride in his home region – which is taking on competition hosting duties in 2023 on behalf of Ukraine.

The project was one of the last things O’Grady filmed before his death, and his posthumous appearance has been approved by his family and friends.
