O'Grady plans Lily Savage comeback

Paul O’Grady is planning the return of his Lily Savage character – as a guest on his own chat show.

The comic revealed he has a host of stars lined up for his forthcoming Channel 4 series. Amongst will be Savage, who O'Grady left behind over two years ago.

“I’ve got lots of great guests lined up for the new show. One of them is Lily Savage," The 50-year-old told TV Biz. “I’m going to bring her out of retirement."

"It’s about time. I’m the only person in the world who could interview her," continued O'Grady, joking: “She’s been in hiding with Sister Mary at a karma nunnery.”

The series begins next Monday (March 27).
