A new Paul O'Grady documentary filmed months before the entertainer's unexpected death will air on ITV tonight (Sunday March 31).
The 67-year-old sadly died on March 28 last year from sudden cardiac arrhythmia. The beloved presenter and renowned animal lover said he was in 'heaven' while filming the two-part series, titled Paul O'Grady's Great Elephant Adventure.
The programme follows Paul's journey across Thailand and Laos as he lends a hand at elephant rescue centres. Claire Barton, who was not only the show's executive producer but also a lifelong friend of Paul, said: "Paul wanted to highlight the plight of elephants, which fascinated him throughout his life.
Little did we know that this would be the last TV series Paul would film before his death last year."
