I remember her mostly for her T.O.T.P's appearances in the 1980's.

Another name from my youth goes.
Rip Janiceeeeeeeeee

I did.

Cheggers only made it to 60.

I'm guessing it's statistically unusual for a brother and sister to die at such a young age.

Sad news, RIP Janice. Never knew she was Cheggers sister. Also, only recently found out Annie Nightingale was in her eighties now.

 

[Rusty Nails]

Very sad. I've enjoyed her Radio Wales show the last few years.

Keith Chegwin's sister - who knew?

I definitely didn't. He's also gone.

No! 66 is no age.
I loved her radio 1 show, and her Radio 2 show for that matter.
The thing is, with radio presenters, I think because they are always in your home and car, they seem more like part of the family than other people in the industry.
RIP Janice. You were a trailblazer for women in music.

Most people I would think,Keith Chegwin was an alcoholic for many years that probably contributed to his early death.Sad for both to die so young.

Possibly but he did have a serious illness. That his sister dies at just 66 might show that longevity doesn't run in the family. Very sad. 66 is no age.
