Teresa Fernandes, who was secretly married to Paul for 28 years, has spoken of her sadness following her friend's death.The Blankety Blank presenter was openly gay, however, he previously admitted he had married Portuguese ex wife Teresa Fernandes in 1977 to stop her from being deported.
Speaking about the marriage, Paul said: "Teresa, I call her the lesbian Portuguese barmaid, was lovely. She looked like David Cassidy. His manager had told him: "If anything happened to you, everything would go to your wife. It's like a real-life Corrie storyline." Paul said that he was "right" because it "protected" his partner if anything happened to him, adding: "It makes sense".
Theresa thinks she last saw Paul in the 1980s while he was performing at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern where the pair caught up about the past.She said: "Paul always made me laugh and I always used to say he would make someone very happy and he was a lovely man, we had such a good friendship and it's shame we drifted apart.
