Paul told the Mirror: 'I'd lost my best mate, someone who'd been in my life for 25 years and saw me through the days when I was lucky to earn £50 for standing on a beer crate in the corner of a pub telling jokes.

Murph and I were like brothers - joined at the hip, thick as thieves.
'It transcended any sexual relationship we'd had. This was a partnership. A double act, Emma Peel and Steed, Laurel and Hardy. We were both 49, barely able to believe what we'd achieved - I'd just won a BAFTA for the Paul O'Grady Show - and then suddenly bang, he's gone.'
Paul went on to find love with Brazilian dancer Andre, 25 years his junior, evDeN eve nAkLiyat who he married in 2017.

O'Grady's daughter Sharyn Mousley donned a black face covering as she walked into the service alongside a young man, believed to be the comedian's grandson, who was holding a Lily Savage wig.
Three volunteers from from Battersea Cats & Dogs Home stood guard with a black Labrador cross and a pug as the coffin was carried into the ceremony by six pallbearers.
A brass band from the Salvation Army played a series of songs outside, including Tomorrow from the musical Annie.

Other famous faces seen saying their goodbyes were comedian Julian Clary, the late Dame Barbara Windsor's widower Scott Mitchell and a string of EastEnders actors, including Scott Malsen, Cheryl Fergison and Linda Henry.
Touching notes were left outside the church by loved ones of O'Grady.

Tough: Husband of Paul O'Grady, Andre Portasio, carrying one of their dogs, arriving for the funeral of Paul O'Grady at St Rumwold's Church in Aldington, Kent
Hours before the funeral, owners with dogs from Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, where the 11 series of his award-winning ITV show For The Love Of Dogs were set, arrived in Aldington to say farewell to the star.
More than £270,000 has been raised for the charity since his death from a cardiac arrhythmia on March 28.
O'Grady became an ambassador for the animal charity in 2012 and rehomed five dogs while filming the show Paul O'Grady: For The Love Of Dogs.
Fans were shocked and heartbroken when the news of his death was announced last month.
O'Grady had spoken openly about his struggles with heart disease, which his death certificate - obtained by the Daily Express - showed was linked to his death.
The grandfather-of-two had three heart attacks between 2002 and 2014, while he also battled kidney failure and was unable to work for two months after contracting Covid in 2022.
Both his parents and grandparents died of heart issues, while his brother and other members of his family had also suffered heart attacks.
The star shot to fame as trailblazing comic drag act Lily Savage before becoming one of the country's best-loved TV presenters and DJs.
Ex-ballet dancer Andre Portasio, who married O'Grady in 2017, paid tribute to his 'humour, wit and compassion' in a statement announcing his death.
O'Grady had his first attack at just 46, where he was rushed to hospital and underwent a two-hour surgery.
After this, he gave up smoking, having previously been reported to get through 40 cigarettes a day.
But just over four years later the TV presenter was back in hospital after a second heart attack at the age of 51.
And after an attack of angina in 2013, O'Grady was also reported to have had a third heart attack in 2014.
Saying goodbye: Locals have also been invited to line streets near Paul's home as the cortege passes through the village where he lived.

Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome - or SADS - is when a person's heart stops suddenly and unexpectedly and the cause cannot be found.
This stops the heart from pumping blood around your body, stopping breathing and starving the brain of oxygen.
Also known as Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, it affects around 500 people in the UK every year.
His death certificate was registered six days after his death by his PA and agent Joan Marshrons.
