Comedian and presenter Paul O’Grady, 62, opens up about ’how his four-legged friends caused a near-death experience and why he’s so ‘Bah , humbug!’ about the festive season…
So, you’re not really a fan of Christmas, Paul?
I can’t wait for the new year, when the whole expensive palaver is over. I dread it. I put up a tree and have a big dinner, but afterwards I think, ‘Thank God it’s over!’
How are you spending it this year?
I’m going to embrace it because my grandchildren are coming to stay, so my house is going to be like Santa’s grotto. I’ve got some bells and a phone app with reindeer sounds on it, so I’m going to stand outside at 11pm and rattle the bells. I might even get on the roof!
What do you like to watch on the box at Christmas?
