RIP Paul O'Grady

[scottishthistle77]

Just come up on BBC News. He was 67.

😢

Such a shame :(

Oh no. That is sad news.

Wow, how sad for his friends and family.

He did a lot of good work with Battersea.

OMG thats devasting. His books were fantastic. Such alot of good work with the animals. He always hinted he wouldnt get to a ripe old age. Thoughts are with his family 🙁💐

😞

Aww how sad. RIP.

That is really sad.

Awful

rest in peace Paul

That's such sad news. Very funny man. A joy to watch and his books were great.

Omg what a shock, 67 is no age these days, very sad news may he rest in peace.

I'm genuinely devastated, his work has really impacted the direction of my life and deeply moved my family. Rest in peace.

One of those ones that hits really hard, even though I've never met him.

At least he died suddenly and peacefully, so didn't suffer, according to his partner Andre Portasio.

I just did a search on Facebook and there was pictures taken recently of someone meeting him just 5days ago and he was smiling with a drink in his hand. ❤️

Really shocked by this. RIP.

Oh no! I loved his Battersea dogs programme. How sad.

That is sad - I loved him with his rehoming dogs programme - he seemed like a lovely chap

Ive met him. His friends will be heartbroken. He came accross as you saw him, genuine and frank. Took his dog and beautiful husband everywhere. I really hoped he had a couple more books with him. Sounds like his heart just gave up, as he always said it would. This one has hit me hard. I wondered why I suddenly woke up.

That is such sad news - my grandmother loved him and his little dogs.

OMG. I can't believe it. I have never cried when a celebrity has died before. I loved him on For the love of dogs. 😭😭😭😭

Very sad , loved him as Lily Savage and even more for his work with Battersea which he was so passionate about . 🥲

Oh no! He was so witty and so genuine with dogs! RIP

OMG Such sad news Gone too soon

I met him once and he was adorable. This hurts

Very sad.
Just read a friend was round with him yesterday and they were laughing and joking and planning new projects so hoping it was quick and painless.

He really did seem to be genuinely lovely. Very sad
