He first gained prominence in the 1980s within London's gay scene through his drag persona Lily Savage, which became a significant part of his identity and helped him achieve wider recognition in the 1990s.

He first gained prominence in the 1980s within London's gay scene through his drag persona Lily Savage, which became a significant part of his identity and helped him achieve wider recognition in the 1990s. Known for her outspoken personality, sharp wit, and distinctive Scouse accent, Lily Savage became a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. Over the decades, O'Grady transitioned from performing in underground gay clubs to mainstream television, showcasing his versatility and talent. In the 2000s, he moved away from his drag persona and became a popular television and radio presenter, hosting shows such as *The Paul O'Grady Show* and *For the Love of Dogs*. His career was marked by his warmth, humour, and genuine connection with audiences, making him a cherished figure in British entertainment until his passing in 2023. 'Have I got to get changed? I’m f*cking sick of this. I’m in and out. The frocks on, the frocks off. I'm like an Amsterdam tart – and not a sh*g in the middle of it' Lily Savage 1/1 'I dress up as a middle-aged prostitute and do a game show' Lily Savage 1/2 ‘I like a Blackpool breakfast, me – 20 ciggies and a pot of tea.’ Lily Savage 1/2 Read Lily's Full Story below: Lilian Maeve Veronica Savage was conceived in Butlins, Pwllheli and was born in Liverpool, outside The Legs Of Man public house, Lime Street. Lily is decidedly cagey about the exact date, but it was rumoured that this diva's birthday fell on the feast day of St. Veronica. It was also the day that Ruth Ellis was hanged, 13 July 1955. Her mother, Hellcat Savage, didn't have gas or air but just lay on a Policeman's Mac and was assisted by the midwife, Mrs Maureen Scobie, who held the Policeman's torch because it was a dark night. Two hours later, Lily's mother was sitting on a bar stool inside the pub having a cherry beer. Hellcat was one of the Wirral's leading lady wrestlers until she had a nasty accident and then she became an Odour Eater demonstrator for Woolworths, in selected stores all round the country. Lily's grandmother, Erica Von Savage, whose real name was Bernadette, was mad as a hatter and would say she was a secret agent going off on missions when actually she was working as a chalet maid on the Isle Of Man. She died of hypothermia after shoplifting frozen turkeys from Bejams. Erica had loved playing with kids so after she was cremated her ashes were put in an Etch-a-Sketch so they could still play with her. Lily had an adopted sister, Veronica Alice Cheeseman, now sadly deceased. 'Our Vera' was found on the step in a little basket, all wrapped in swaddling clothes, with a big label round her neck. She was 23 at the time. Lily's mam had just bought bunk beds and as it was a shame to waste them, she took Vera in. Vera was rather plain looking and wore glasses like re-entry shields but she was very close to Lily. Lily had a happy childhood and was Miss Pears 1959. At five she wanted ballet lessons but they were too expensive. Her family were poor but they were shoplifters. Instead, Lily did country dancing at St. Winifred's Reform School and was also in the Legion Of Mary before being expelled. The Holy nuns couldn't keep her under control so she was put in a detention centre. Lily took up the oldest profession and both her and Vera also did some modelling. Lily was centrefold for Angler's Weekly, May issue, as a dressed crab and Vera did two adverts for Nursing Mirror, one for incontinence pads and the other for a Stannah stairlift. Lily's first real job was in Woolies on the Pick 'n' Mix and then she was moved to the cold meat counter before her now manager discovered her. She also worked as a stripper in the Blue Balloon Club, Huddersfield, alongside the Tooting Bec Twirler, Gaby Rose Lyn. Before long, Lily was appearing in elegant watering holes such as The Elephant And Castle and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern where she took part in Stars Of The Future. Not afraid to work with animals, Lily initially featured a ferret in her act then later teamed up with Skippy the fox, who is now retired and living in a home in Brighton. In her early acting career she made a low budget, Swedish movie, 'Nativity 2', filmed in a block of flats in Stockwell. She has also done children's parties as Lily Poppins. She would make a trifle out of Night Nurse and finish them off with a Benylin scone. Her theatre debut came in 1991 when she appeared at the Hackney Empire, a show witnessed by the ghost of her grandmother who watched from the box. Television beckoned and in 1995 Lily landed her own variety series, 'Live From The Lilydrome', recorded in Blackpool. She was back in the seaside resort the following year when her show on the North Pier broke all box office records selling in excess of 100,000 tickets and winning her a gold disc. More TV success followed with the 'Big Breakfast' where Lily interviewed celebrities whom she'd enticed onto her bed. She was known as 'Queen of the Boudoir'. In 1996 Lily won Cosmopolitan's 'best looking legs' award, which was followed by Lily advertising snag-free Resilience tights in 1997 for Pretty Polly. The TV offers continued to flooded in and Lily became host of the resurrected game show 'Blankety Blank' on which contestants competed for prizes such as toasters and sets of pans. Interspersed with TV, there were sell-out tours in theatres up and down the country. She was now playing such esteemed venues as the London Palladium and the Royal Albert Hall and made her debut in London's West End with 'Prisoner Cell Block H The Musical'. Lily was able to draw on her own experiences in the detention centre to play the prisoner wrongly accused of killing her sister, Vera. Further stage credits included Miss Hannigan in the musical 'Annie'. At this time, Lily was asked to compere the Royal Variety Performance but had to decline due to work commitments. She did however perform at the show with a routine from 'Annie'. Most recently, she has undertaken five seasons of Pantomime playing The Wicked Queen in 'Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs'. Although being in showbiz, Lily also found time to become a wife and mother. Unfortunately, Lily was the first in her family to get divorced but this was hardly surprising since she was the only one to have got married in the first place. Since then, she has been romantically linked with the Australian charmer, Bob Downe, whom she first met in 1991 at one of her many Edinburgh Festival appearances. They subsequently toured together both in the UK and Australia. Although they professed to be "just good friends" they were engaged at one stage. Lily broke off the engagement when the ring Bob gave her turned her finger green. Lily has two illegitimate children, Bunty Bernadette and Jason (her social worker wouldn't take the kids off her). The eldest, Bunty married Ashley, a Hells Angel, turned tile cleaner, from Wigan. Before Ashley slung his hook, they provided Lily with her first grandchild, Kylie Marie. At puberty, she will no doubt inherit the Savage Streak, that clump of black hair amid the peroxide blonde, similar to the Mallen Streak. Lily's son, Jason Ozzie Savage, was born in 1980 and is the only male member of the Savage clan. He spent some time in borstal a private boys school, just outside Harrogate for being branded the Stockwell arsonist but he was innocent. He wants to be a film maker and practiced by making a video diary of his dysfunctional family. Once Lily made the big time she moved her family from her Lambeth multi storey flat to a dead posh house in Hampstead, 63 Upitself Avenue. With Richard & Judy and Katie Boyle as neighbours, the area is a bit rough but Lily's mansion is set in it's own grounds and even has an indoor swimming pool. Lily's mother's ashes sit in an urn next to the pool since she loved water and was always down the docks. Of a morning, Lily enjoys a Blackpool breakfast - 20 ciggies (Lambert & Butler) and a pot of tea. She only drinks cider but not the designer muck. During the winter, Lily likes nothing better than to visit Skye with the dogs. She would often go on holiday with Vera to Lourdes with the Union of Catholic Mothers or visit her 4-berth caravan in Talacre North Wales, which is available for hire, October to January. Now that she is a superstar and International Sex Kitten, Lily has reputedly insured her legs for £1 million with Lloyds of London and has developed her own range of beauty products including a perfume, Flame of Llandudno, by Avon but she remains true to her roots and still wears M&S 100% cotton, double gusset drawers. Her previous occupation behind her, Lily still provides the occasional 'special' service to very respectable gentlemen. LOVE LILY?

Dressed as Baby Jane Hudson from the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Millie sang the now infamous 'I’ve Written A Letter To Maggie' a re-write of the song, 'I’ve written A Letter to Daddy'. This was written in direct response to the passing of Section 28 by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government Performed all over the Gay scene by Millie, it became the ‘unofficial’ anthem for this archaic and despicable act passed to encroach on the human rights of every gay man and lesbian in Britain in 1988.

- Adrella | Lost Gay London
Peter Searle, professionally known as Peter Steadman, who as ‘Adrella’ was a huge star of the cabaret. Adrella was best known for his Liza Minnelli routine. He was also a Eurovision fanatic and even juror for the UK’s judging panel in 2008. For a while, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, he was one of the most adored performers on the gay scene and did so much charity work that in 1987 he was given an award by the Terrence Higgins Trust. He entered a talent competition at the Black Cap. ADRELLA aka Peter Searle Peter Searle, professionally known as ‘Adrella, was a huge star of the cabaret circuit from the mid-70s and directly inspired many of those who are part of the current drag revival. Adrella worked both solo and with partners such as Lily Savage, David Dale, Ebbonknee and Ruby Venezuela. An old-school drag act, who mostly mimed to show tunes, he was best known for his Liza Minnelli routine. He was also a Eurovision fanatic and even juror for the UK’s judging panel in 2008. For a while, during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, he was one of the most adored performers on the gay scene and did so much charity work that in 1987 he was given an award by the Terrence Higgins Trust. Tragically his ill-health resulted in an early retirement and less recognition than he deserved. He made a comeback, delighting new audiences with his almost undiminihed star quality. The son of a policeman, Searle claimed that he was raised in a police station in the middle of Hyde Park and that he was still living there in 1975, when he entered a talent competition at the Black Cap. He popped briefly into the West End in 1982, when he appeared in La Vie en Rose at the La Vie, formerly the Windmill Theatre. But he will be remembered by most as one of the great gay scene acts, especially for his work at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. There are many recordings, notably of Adrella’s Nativity at Christmas, 1987, a show that drove the crowd wild. He also made numerous TV appearances on game shows, including Treasure Hunt, Talkabout, the Weakest Link and 15 to 1. Adrella’s last big success was ‘Camp Camp’, which he produced at Butlin’s, Skegness, in 1991. A follow-up was abandoned. Searle later wrote, “The second one collapsed after Butlin’s withdrew, due to negative press affecting their bookings [reports linked the event to the AIDS scare], and in-fighting between the two companies who produced the first event.” Adrella continued to host the RVT’s Sports Days. But subsequently Peter’s health deteriorated.
