Little Britain star Matt Lucas has held a star-studded memorial service for his ex-husband Kevin McGee.

The 35-year-old was left devastated when his former husband McGee hanged himself in October following an addiction to cocaine.

Celebrities including Lenny Henry, Dawn French, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne were among those who attended the secretly arranged bash.

Before the tribute started, Lucas said: “I am terrified of my speech.”

He reportedly wept as he paid tribute to McGee and told of his addiction, which led to their marriage break-up 10 months before his death.
