Fans of Paul O'Grady were left teary-eyed as they watched the 'Life and Death of Lily Savage' on ITV, a documentary that traced the journey of his famous alter ego. On Good Friday, viewers tuned into ITV to revisit the birth and retirement of Lily Savage - the drag act alter ego of comedian Paul, who sadly passed away last March at 67. Paul first introduced Lily to the world in 1978 with a performance at the Black Cap pub in Camden, North London.
He then went on to rule prime time entertainment, hosting shows like Blankety Blank, a chat show, and even presenting on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast. However, in 2004, despite his success in drag, Paul decided to retire Lily, and she was never seen on stage or screen again.
The documentary about Lily's rise and fall featured old footage of the star, and archive audio of Paul talking about her made it feel like he had narrated the special himself. Listening to Paul fondly remember his time as Lily was too emotional for many fans, who were saddened to hear him speak as if from beyond the grave.
One fan shared on X: "Watching the Paul o Grady/ lily savage programme. Slightly bizarre Paul is narrating much of it. Loved Paul o Grady.", reports the Mirror.
One person said: "Feels a bit emotional hearing Paul's voice again while he's talking on this documentary about himself and Lily Savage." Some fans said they cried watching the show. Someone else shared: "I am still grieving the loss of Paul O'Grady and Lily Savage." And another added: "I still cry that Paul O'Grady is dead #lifeanddeathoflilysavage #lilysavage #PaulOGrady." Another fan mentioned crying right from the start of the show.
