Craig Revel Horwood was reportedly left ‘choking up’ as the cast of Annie made a heartbreaking tribute to Paul O’Grady during their first show following his death.
After Paul sadly died last week, Annie halted their shows for a while out of respect for the TV legend.
Last night was their first night back on the UK tour since the sad news of Paul’s death.
However, an audience member said that things took an emotional turn during the final bows, while they were honouring the For the Love of Dogs star.
Craig Revel Horwood makes tribute to Paul O’Grady
Paul was out on the road for the UK tour of Annie as he shared the role of Miss Hannigan with Strictly star Craig.
However, last week the Lily Savage star sadly and unexpectedly died at the age of 67.
You could see him choking up while saying what he did.
After hearing the devastating news, Craig honoured his co-star in an emotional statement. He said: “I’m in a state of shock this morning. Waking up to the news that my gorgeous colleague and friend, Paul O’Grady has passed away. I’m actually reeling in disbelief. He was such a wonderful human being, funny and to the point. Paul, legend, RIP darling.”
