Queen Consort Camilla has said she is "deeply saddened" by the death of legendary broadcaster Paul O'Grady.
Paul worked closely with Her Majesty as they both supported Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and in tribute to the star, ITV have axed The Chase to air a Royal special of ‘For the Love of Dogs’ on Wednesday afternoon. Paul's husband Andre Portasio said in his statement: “It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening.
“We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss. He will be greatly missed by his loved ones, friends, family, animals and all those who enjoyed his humour, wit and compassion."
