TV star and comedian Paul O'Grady has died at the age of 67, his partner Andre Portasio has said.

In a statement, he said the star, known for his drag queen persona Lily Savage, died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on Tuesday evening.

The presenter, who was born in Merseyside, hosted a number of game shows including Blankety Blank in the late 90s under the guise of Savage.

His career spanned more than 30 years, during which he hosted The Paul O'Grady Show, Blind Date and For The Love Of Dogs.

He also featured on TV shows such as Dr Who and Holby City.

R.I.P Paul. He was a kind, funny and caring man. You will be missed. ❤️

Apparently he had 9 dogs, all adopted from Battersea. I keep thinking of those poor dogs who will really miss him. ❤️
