Very sad news being a big dog lover myself
RIP Paul

 

[CornishPool]

I absolutely can’t believe it. Loved watching his show on ITV many years ago at 5pm. Will be truly missed - a national treasure you might say

 

[TSSeasider]

I'm shocked.

Very funny, great entertainer, such a pity and so relatively young.

 

[Cleveleys boy]

What a shame..Always found him really funny..RIP Paul/Lily

 

[Tangerinemoss]

Never quite "got " Lilley Savage. However, Love of Dogs was brilliant, he loved dogs as much as we do so he was alright in my book. RIP PoG

 

[Blackpool-rocks]

Didn’t find him funny but still no age. RIP

Met him a few year back, well he met me. Was in Lytham and he was sat at the corner of the bar whilst I was waiting to be served by a disappeared barman. He'd come up for the weekend to see a relative and seemed a nice enough bloke and we chatted for about 10mins. I knew his face, but only when I got back to our friends and they said it was PO'G. Not that I was bothered.

Think he talked about dogs as well....

RIP

Sad to hear this, I wasn't a fan of lily savage but adored his programme for the love of dogs a subject close to my heart. I have a rescue that had been abused, she's been with us 7 years and is so loving and happy . I'm glad Paul raised the plight of dogs in rescue shelters, I'm baffled people pay 1000 plus for dogs, mine cost me £100. I'd reserve a place in hell for dog breeders, greedy bastards the lot of them. RIP Paul and thanks for the love of dogs, please consider getting a rescue, there are 1000s of them that require a stable loving home.

Sad news , found him quite funny both as Lilly then on his Sunday evening Radio 2 show.

 

[Seaside Aggro]

His shows at the Layton institute were legendary.

 

[Curryman]

Not a Lily Savage fan, but he was a great entertainer and his love of dogs was brilliant. The world of entertainment has lost another gem. RIP.

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

Very sad, seemed like a genuinely nice bloke. RIP.

 

[Lala]

Very sad and no age. RIP Paul O Grady

 

[PETER SPRUCE 1]

Top man loved dogs same as we do rip Paul.

 

[Pauls_Boutique]

Very sad news to wake up to, funny guy.

 

[WIZARD OF TANGERINE]

I hope someone takes over the TV show at Battersey Dogs Home as it will lose a lot of publicity through this dreadful time. It won't be the same ,but the number of dogs that need good homes is through the roof because of Covid.

 

[585 = never give up]

He came across as a really nice, funny guy and he did a great deal for dog charities, especially the Battersea dogs home.
RIP Paul

 

[glasshalffull]

RIP. Great shame. Still had a lot to offer.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Seem to remember first seeing him (as her) on a TV show filmed at the Layton Institute back in the 90s. Always interesting to see someone who was seen as being edgy back in the day qualify for household name teatime chat show and granny’s favourite status!

RIP Paul

 

[Sooty59]

Really sad to hear this news today. Talented bloke & compassionate with animals.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Sad news, by all accounts a lovely fella and anyone who loves dogs as much as he did is ok with me.

Must also have been hard as nails to play working mens clubs as a drag artist in the 80s.

RIP.

 

[Macseasider]

Such sad news. A hilariously funny man, breaker of boundaries and protector of animals.

RIP Lily

 

[Shandypants]

Celebrity deaths don't really bother me, but I'm upset at this. He was a champion for rescue dogs and I'll always be grateful to him for that. can't believe I'm welling up typing this, I hope someone takes forward for the love of dogs, it's such a great and important programme.

 

[Mr Tangerine Man]

Gone to that wonderfull place where dogs go when they die. RIP Paul...

 

[Mark_GT]

A decent and funny bloke, will be missed in his Wirral birthplace. He also gave the world the incomparable phrase "sweating like a glassblower's arse"

 

[1966_and_all_that]

The blonde bombsite. Great tag-line. RIP.

 

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Always thought a nice fella, and as others have said, his work for protecting dogs was enough for him to be alright in my eyes.

 

[TangoDave]

Loved dogs and hated the Tories. RIP.
