Craig Revel Horwood spoke of the moment he found Paul O'Grady's had died. The Strictly Come Dancing judge was sharing the role of Miss Hannigan in the musical stage show Annie with O'Grady in the weeks before his tragic passing.
The comedian and TV star died 'unexpectedly, but peacefully' on March 28, aged 67. His husband Andre Portasio confirmed the tragic loss in a statement following O'Grady's death on March 28. "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 added in a statement.
The funeral for O'Grady, who rose to fame as his platinum wig-wearing drag queen alter ego Lily Savage before going on to host a string of television programmes, took place last month featuring a guard of honour with dogs from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and an appearance from the Salvation Army Band.
