Susan Boyle has paid tribute to her "loyal friend" Paul O'Grady after the much-loved star passed away earlier this week at the age of 67.
The Blackburn Britain's Got Talent star said she had met him in Edinburgh last week while he was performing in Annie at the Playhouse Theatre.
He sadly died just days after his final performance as Miss Hannigan in the hit show.
Susan posted pictures of the pair together on Facebook and added in a heartbreaking post "I never would have thought this was goodbye".
She continued: "Paul, you were one in a million, kind, funny, and a loyal friend.
"When I saw you last week in Edinburgh, never would I have thought that this was goodbye.
"Sending love to Andre & your family. I will miss you."
The legendary broadcaster and entertainer sadly died "unexpectedly but peacefully" on Tuesday evening, leaving his partner Andre Portasio, friends and family and his legion of fans devastated.
Just days before he passed, the former Radio 2 star was spotted mingling with fans at a bar in Leith, in what might be one of the last pictures taken of him.
The photo shared on social media showed Paul beaming for the camera with his arm around a smiling fan, who described the Lily Savage star as a "lovely man".
