TV presenter Paul O’Grady passed away from a sudden cardiac arrhythmia at the age of 67 earlier this year, in March.
However, before his unexpected death, he had filmed one last project: a two-part docuseries all about elephants. This means his fans will get to see him in a new series on screen one last time.
