It’s been reported that Paul O’Grady left £15.5m in his will - including £125,000 for his five pet dogs.The much-loved late TV star also set aside half a million pounds for his beloved Battersea Cats and Dogs Home.Big-hearted Paul, who passed away last March at the age of 67, left a total of £775,000 for charity, according to The Sun.

This included £50k for causes that help elephants and orangutans and £50k for the Salvation Army, after the former social worker's lifelong support of the organisation.

A friend close to Paul told the publication: “This is typical of Paul as he put his money where his mouth was by leaving cash to charities that had special meaning to him.“And though £125,000 seems like a lot of money to spend on his dogs, they also meant the world to him and he wanted to ensure they always receive the best love and care."Paul’s huge fortune will then be divided between Andre Portasio, Paul’s widow, his sister Sheila Rudd and daughter Sharon Mousley.

The Sun reports the will was created in 2017 and other beneficiaries will include his agent Joan Marshrons - who will look after his five dogs, Nancy, Arfur, Conchita, Eddie and Sausage.
