According to Paul, his alter-ego won’t be returning anytime soon.

The star told The Mirror: “There’s not enough cash on earth to get me dragged up. God no. It’s always been, ‘Why don’t you be Lily Savage again?’

“Well, because one, I’m too old. And two, I couldn’t be bothered.

I’ve moved on

“At the time I thoroughly enjoyed it but I’ve moved on. Even in panto I wouldn’t fancy it.”

Fans have previously pleaded with Paul to bring back the fierce drag queen.

Back in July, the host thrilled fans as he posted a selection of photos dressed as his famous alter-ego on Instagram.

When is Paul on TV next?

However, fans can still watch Paul on his ITV programme For The Love Of Dogs every Wednesday.
