A close friend of Paul O'Grady who saw the TV star on the afternoon of his death has paid tribute to his 'dear friend' after visiting him just hours before his 'unexpected' death.

Radio producer Malcolm Price said he popped round to Paul's for a 'good old catch-up' on Tuesday afternoon (March 28) and the former drag queen was 'laughing, smiling and full of life.' Paul died later that evening at age 67, his partner Andre Portasio said.
