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.
