The Sounds of the 70s host stepped down after 58 years as a DJ due to ill health last October and died two months later.

But Tiggy, 64, who was his manager and also cared for him during his health battles, said: “I believe in life after death and Johnnie absolutely did and he always said, ‘I’m going to look after you’.

“A very psychic friend of mine has seen him and he has said, ‘I realise now how much Tiggy sacrificed for me and I’m going to do everything I can for her now.

“I’m just going to devote myself to her for the rest of her life.”
