Paul O'Grady's final TV appearance has been confirmed and will air to mark the first anniversary of his death. The TV star, fondly known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, passed away "unexpectedly but peacefully" at his Kent home in March 2023.

It was later confirmed that he had died, aged 67, from sudden cardiac arrhythmia. But it's now been confirmed that the much-loved entertainer will be reunited with viewers for one last time as a TV series made shortly before his death will air alongside a 90-minute tribute to his life and career.

Paul, who was renowned for hosting The Paul O'Grady Show, Blind Date and Blankety Blank, as well as ITV's For The Love Of Dogs, will be seen in The Life and Death of Lily Savage which will be screened on ITV1 this Easter, along with his final TV project, Paul O’Grady’s Great Elephant Adventure.
