Paul O'Grady has shared his heartbreak after the loss of a beloved pet while on tour with the musical Annie. The 67-year-old plays Miss Hannigan in the stage production, which also stars Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood, and returned home from a run of shows to find out the bad news.
The comedian, actor and presenter said one of his pet pigs, named Tom Tom, had been put down while he was away, after being diagnosed with a tumour. Fans rallied around the animal loving star after he shared a reel featuring the "cheeky" swine with his other pigs on his Instagram account, reported the MEN.
Alongside the clip, Paul wrote: "Got back from a week in Newcastle playing Miss Hannigan in Annie to find that Tom Tom, one of my pigs, had been put to sleep. I knew it was coming as he'd been diagnosed with a tumour but even so it’s awful when you lose a pet.
