ITV tribute documentary For The Love of Paul O’Grady left viewers “in tears” within minutes. The hour-long film celebrated the life of Paul, who passed away aged 67 last week - read more about that here.
The TV channel, which has had a long working relationship with the star, was keen to pay tribute to him with a special show, which will air at 8pm tonight. It comes ahead of the 11th series of Paul O'Grady: For The Love of Dogs, which will air as planned on April 13.
During his career, he hosted The Paul O’Grady Show, Blind Date and Blankety Blank, as well as ITV’s multi-award-winning For The Love Of Dogs. In a statement after his death, ITV’s managing director of media and entertainment Kevin Lygo remembered him as a “huge, inimitable talent”.
