Malcom wrote: “It’s Sunday, It’s just gone 5pm, And it’s… #NotTheSameWithoutYOU. Had things been different, we would have started our new adventure today.”
His followers rushed to offer their support. One person said: “Heartbreaking. Sending love to you Malcolm.”
Had things been different, we would have started our new adventure today.
Another wrote: “That breaks my heart, I was just thinking how my bathroom radio would have been fully charged in the sun, ready for my relaxing bath with the show. I listen to @BoomRadioUK on my phone now instead, so I would have been celebrating with you today.”
Someone else added: “Used to love listening to Paul driving home from visiting my mum in her care home. Not always good visits but he would keep me focused on the long drive.”
Paul died on March 28 at the age of 67. His husband Andre Portasio said the For the Love of Dogs star died “unexpectedly but peacefully”.
He said: “It is with great sadness that I inform you that Paul has passed away unexpectedly but peacefully yesterday evening. We ask, at this difficult time, that whilst you celebrate his life you also respect our privacy as we come to terms with this loss.”
