BBC Radio presenter and former Top of the Pops host Janice Long has died at the age of 66 after a brief battle with illness.
Her agent Nigel Forsyth confirmed the sad news in a statement, detailing she had suffered from a "short illness" before she passed away surrounded by family.
Janice was an English radio presenter best known for her appearances across BBC Radio, including their Radio 1 and Radio 2 channels.
The star, who grew up in Liverpool, originally trained as a flight attendant with Laker Airways before turning her attentions to telesales and insurance.
She became a station assistant at BBC Radio Merseyside in 1979 where her clear hosting talent was spotted - and she was eventually given her own show.
Janice hosted Streetlife on Sunday mornings - where she interviewed Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Paul Gambaccini as part of a local show.
She was later recommended to BBC Radio 1 by broadcaster Paul before she made her debut with a Saturday-night show in 1982.
Chart show Top of the Pops then welcomed her as the first female presenter in 1983, where she co-presented the show alongside John Peel.
Janice returned to co-present the final show in July 2006 after decades of working with Crash FM, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6 Music.
She also presented four night a week on BBC Radio Wales right up until her death, as well as the Saturday afternoon slot on Greatest Hits Radio.

Outside of radio, Janice also appeared on The X Factor, Countdown and The Weakest Link - as well as lending her voice to BBC Three's Desperate Midwives.
The exact cause of Janice's death is currently unknown, but those close to her confirmed her passing followed a "short illness".
She was hospitalised for the brief battle, which she revealed to her followers on social media, writing: "Good Morning world from my hospital bed in Liverpool.”
It was later revealed she had passed away on Christmas Day.
Her agent Nigel said of her death in a statement: "Janice was a wonderful, warm human being and exceptional broadcaster.
"She told a brilliant story and always made you roar with laughter with her sharp wit. She will leave behind her husband Paul and two children.
"Janice loved the BBC and started her career as a station assistant at BBC Radio Merseyside in 1979, to complete it with the magnificent people at BBC Radio Wales.
"Janice wanted it known she was so thankful to the NHS and all who looked after her there."
Janice was the sister of television presenter and actor Keith Chegwin, who tragically passed away in December 2017 .
The star had suffered from lung disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ahead of his premature death at the age of 60.
Keith, who made his name presenting the popular children’s shows Cheggers Plays Pop and Saturday Superstore, died at home surrounded by family.
The family wrote at the time: "We are heartbroken to share the news that Keith Chegwin sadly passed away following a long-term battle with a progressive lung condition, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which rapidly worsened towards the end of this year.”
The TV presenter had spent his final weeks at the Severn Hospice in Shrewsbury - which his family thanked for their "kindness, support and care".
Janice was a mother-of-two, sharing children Fred and Blue with her husband Paul Berry, who she married in an intimate ceremony in 2017.
The couple had formed a relationship in 1987, years after her divorce from first-husband Trevor Long, who she married in 1977.
Fred and Blue have remained out of the spotlight for their lives - and are currently thought to be in their early-thirties.

A Louisiana woman was stabbed to death on a Facebook Live video after her killer allegedly tied her hands to a car steering wheel using jumper cables, cops and reports said Tuesday.
Earl Lee Johnson Jr., 35, was arrested for the murder of Janice David, 34, who was found beaten and fatally stabbed in a car at 9:52 p.m. Monday, Baton Rouge Police Department said .
The Facebook Live session lasted about 15 minutes and came after a three or four-day “drug binge,” Sgt. L’Jean McKneely told reporters Tuesday.
“Apparently they were involved in some drug usage together for a couple of days and the end result — as everyone has seen on Facebook Live — is a very gruesome, very evil act,” McKneely said.
Johnson allegedly choked, beat then stabbed David, cops said. The suspect had also allegedly tied David’s hands to the car steering wheel with jumper cables, WBRZ reported .
Someone reported the gruesome footage to Facebook, which notified police. Responding officers found the car abandoned in a parking lot of an office building called Sherwood Tower, reports said.
Johnson was arrested Monday on an unrelated car theft case, where he was allegedly injured during a police pursuit. He admitted to the killing when questioned, the TV station said. Johnson had been convicted of armed robbery in 2007 and was sentenced to 15 years behind bars, WRBZ said.
David’s cousin Terri Austin called the situation “very horrible.”
“She didn’t deserve to die like this… no one does,” Austin told WAFB .
“I really thought, you know, when they say she died that it would have been a vehicle wreck or something like that. Wouldn’t never dream that someone would do this to her.”

Online dating is tricky enough when you're not famous and often naked on the internet. But having potential suitors mistake your real dating profile for a catfish is just one of the many occupational hazards that the adult performer, activist, and—coincidentally—my new Brooklyn neighbor Janice Griffith is forced to navigate on the daily. “When I was on Bumble, my account got reported for being fake,” she tells me. “And I was like, ‘You deleted me!’ ”
Griffith, 25, is one of the most outspoken and in-demand porn actors on the planet—someone who cares deeply about normalizing sex work. She and I have been online acquaintances for a few years now, and when she said she was down to talk all about her dating life as someone who works in the industry, it seemed like a perfect reason to finally connect IRL. Her challenges, I'd learn, aren't so different from any other millennial's, though she does have some wisdom we can glean. “Porn years,” she explains, expedite maturity very swiftly.
When I arrive at her door on a cold afternoon in December, I can hear her pleading with her 50-pound pit bull mix, Opal, from the other side to refrain from accosting me. (One of the reasons she settled on this new multi-bedroom duplex is it has a backyard for Opal to run around in.) Griffith is wearing an elegantly flowy satin pajama set befitting a wealthy eccentric auntie, and she immediately apologizes for the state of things: There are pantry deliveries that need to be put away, as well as a few boxes still awaiting unpacking. A DVD sleeve of Lesbian Anal Virgins, starring my host, rests on top of one. As we settle onto her sofa, she fixes us tea using one of her vintage tea sets and rolls a joint. Opal hops up and melts into my lap.
“It's fun to want to be the best version of yourself after a breakup. When you get revenge hot.”
Originally from New York, Griffith flew to Los Angeles when she was 18 to shoot “just one scene” and then subsequently continued to work for nearly every adult production company under the sun. She tells me she fell in love for the first time not too long before that, at 15, and it was a “perfect intense puppy love and it taught me I can be absolutely bananas in love,” she says. The guy was “kind of stupid” and showed her how to drive (even though she still doesn't have a license), but things ended abruptly and she wound up with a broken heart. At one point Griffith pulls out her phone to look for the guy on Instagram, but nothing comes up and she shrugs it off. “Heartbreak is fun, though,” she says. “It's fun to want to be the best version of yourself after. When you get revenge hot.”
Her visibility means she gets a ton of DMs from fans—which range from extremely bad to just very bad—but they don't seem to faze her much. (“Do not use a weird, dirty joke in the first few messages,” she advises.) For Griffith, any potential partner has to be sex positive and open-minded about what she does for a living; even the faintest whiff of possessiveness is a non-starter. “I'm friends with tons of people I've had sex with,” she says.
At another point during our conversation, she scrolls through the text messages of one of her more well-known exes, the political Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. This was maybe the only one of Griffith's relationships visible online, and although they don't talk anymore, she says he's partly responsible for why she got Opal—she loved spending time with his dog so much that she wanted a canine companion of her own. For the most part she believes exes can still be in each other's lives, although it takes hard work and care. The friendship has to feel intentional. “It'd be such a shame to not have someone in your life after they were so important to you, just because you aren't romantic anymore,” she says.
Hollywood seems to love portraying sex work as some sort of cautionary tale, even when it's well intentioned. (See: The Netflix docuseries Hot Girls Wanted, which Griffith and her peers have criticized as exploitative.) Reality, however, is tamer—at least for Griffith. She's picky about her partners. And even though she can be fiery online, in person she strikes me as a romantic optimist—the kind of person who chooses to see the latent good in others. The pandemic has made dating tricky, and she's not eager to jump into a new relationship anytime soon. But she has thought a lot about what she wants in a partner. “If I fall asleep on the couch, I need you to carry me to bed and tuck me in—I think that's my love language,” she explains, laughing. “But I've taken a couple of love-language tests, and I'm almost equally split between the five of them.”
