Tim's storyline will begin in September and play out on screen over three episodes.
Speaking of his role, O'Grady commented: "I'm a big fan of Holby City so to be featuring in three episodes is absolutely brilliant."
Holby City's executive producer Oliver Kent added: "Having Paul appear in Holby City is such a great coup for the show. Paul has a vibrant personality and a very unique way of engaging with the audience - not to mention he's incredibly funny. This is exactly what we need for a storyline that will be filled with a rollercoaster of emotions."
Holby City airs on Tuesdays at 8pm on BBC One.
