Shameless star Tina Malone bids farewell to husband Paul Chase as pallbearers carry his coffin after shock death aged 42

DEVASTATED Tina Malone has bid a final farewell to her husband Paul Chase following his shock death.

Shameless star Tina, 61, announced his passing in a heartbreaking social media to post fans last month.

At the time, she penned: "It’s with total heartbreak I write this my husband Paul chase Malone passed away this morning we are totally devastated."

On Friday Paul's family and friends came to together for his funeral in Liverpool.

Tina could be seen being comforted by loved ones as she cut a sombre figure.

Putting on a brave face, she wore a black dress featuring white polka dots under a black fur jacket along with a black hat and handbag.

Pallbearers could seen removing Paul's coffin from his home before placing it into the back of a waiting hearse.

No cause of death has been revealed following Paul's shock passing at just 42.

Tina and Paul married for the first time in 2010 after dating for two years, and welcomed daughter Flame when Tina was 50 years old.

Last year, the actress told Closer: "Paul and I still have so much passion, after 13 years you know each other so well.

“He still gives me butterflies!”

Tina, who played Mimi Maguire in Shameless, also announced in 2020 their relationship was back on track after a brief time apart and revealed the "love never went away".

She said: "The love never went away, we're working on things now, our problems were compounded by depression but I learned that in tough times you have to pull together and not apart."
