Paul O’Grady has shared a “bittersweet” photo of his alter ego with his fans.
The Birkenhead -born TV presenter took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal an image of Lily Savage with a chaperone and a former lover. Paul retired Lily’s stilettos in 2004 but her legacy as one of the UK's most iconic drag queens lives on.
The persona helped the comedian to achieve notable success in the London gay scene during the 1980s. Towards the end of Lily’s career, Paul got frustrated with the media who constantly continued to solely refer to him as a drag queen despite his other achievements.
