The late Paul O'Grady's unexpected cameo during the British Soap Awards left viewers 'in bits' as fans still struggle with the loss of the star.

The comedian and TV and radio star was honoured during the ceremony following his tragic death on March 28 this year. The sad news was broken on social media by Paul's partner Andre Portasio the morning after his death, aged 67, at their home in Kent. "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening," he said at the time.

His sad passing was announced as Paul was midway through a UK tour of musical Annie, and just days after he signed a new contract with Boom Radio station.

It was later confirmed that the Lily Savage star had died from sudden cardiac arrhythmia. READ MORE: Join the FREE Manchester Evening News WhatsApp community.
