Leslie Jordan fans 'couldn't stop crying' after the late Will & Grace star appeared in a TV programme filmed before his death last month.
The iconic telly star, who died in a horror car crash in October aged just 67, made a posthumous appearance on Monday's Celebrity IOU.
It was the show's season three premiere and it opened with a message from HGTV hosts Jonathan and Drew Scott about "gracious" Leslie.
The home renovation TV show saw the social media superstar help his life-long pals Rosemary and Newell Alexander transform their North Hollywood ranch house.
The beloved Hollywood actor died in a crash while on his way to work. He is said to have suffered an unspecified "medical issue" at the wheel, according to his agent.
Emotional fans took to Twitter after spotting Leslie in last night's episode of Celebrity IOU, with some saying it brought "closure".
"OMG Leslie Jordan is on Celebrity IOU with the Canadian Brothers and I can't stop crying," said one follower. "He's so sweet and lovely and it's so sad seeing this and knowing that he's gone."
Another expressed: "I don’t watch a lot of property shows because I could never afford it lol, but I love watching Leslie Jordan on Property Brothers Celebrity IOU."
"I’m glad he could do this for his friends before he was gone," they added.
"Thank you for tonight's Celebrity IOU," penned a third. "Seeing Leslie Jordan's gift to his very dear friends Rosemary and Newell had me smiling and cracking up, only the way Leslie Jordan could."
They added: "It was like pleasant closure. Thank you."
In a tribute at the start of the show, Jonathan said: "We've known Leslie Jordan for years and working with him on Celebrity IOU wasn't just a highlight for the show, but really of our careers."
Jonathan added: "Yeah, just the most gracious and kind human being you'll ever meet. He was over the moon to give back to Rosemary and Newell who are in the episode you're about to watch.
"But he lived his entire life with the same love and gratitude for everyone he came in contact with." While Drew added: "Leslie, we miss you very much."
During the episode, Leslie praises his life-time pals, saying: "They've just always been there for me. I had some struggles with alcohol, a little drug use.
"I'm 25 years clean and sober, but they were instrumental in that too because they never judged me. They were always so supportive."
Leslie helps the Property Brothers with demolition, chiming in with suggestions on design having known the couple for so long.
The trio built the couple a new kitchen, improved fireplace and more room throughout their home.
"I didn't think this was possible. That I would love it so much," Rosemary said.
The episode concludes with a tribute that read "Leslie Jordan 1955-2022".
