There was NO ONE like Pauly. His excitement and vitality for life were magnetic. He was warm, kind, funny - actually hilarious, vulnerable, self-deprecating and captivating. Being his friend was a visceral experience, and I defy anyone to close their eyes and picture Pauly with anything but that huge, cheeky, dimpled smile. NEVER one to conform or do anything in an expected or generic way, Paul really was the most 'Extra' and unique person you could ever meet.

It's no secret that he struggled and lost his way at times, but in his true essence, the REAL Pauly, would do anything for anyone no matter what. Whether you knew him from school, Hollyoaks, Love Island, CBB, his rehab journey, or you were just lucky enough to cross paths, he's sure to have left a gaping Pauly-shaped hole in your heart right now. But he has also left behind a 9 year-old son - DeNiro, and a devastated family.

This page has been set up in Paul's memory, to make his son's journey a little bit easier.
