Jonny McGovern, Lady Red’s co-host, “creative partner” and best friend, announced the news over social media on Saturday (25 July). “I can’t believe I am writing this message but the unthinkable has happened,” Jonny wrote in a statement. “This morning at 5am, I received a call from the hospital letting me know that Lady Red just passed away.
I was told she was improving yesterday and ready to move out of intensive care. “But very early this morning she had an episode and coded and she was just gone.
I was just with her Mom and sister. We are in shock. We are devastated.” He added: “I know she meant so much to so many people and everyone will want to know the details and want to understand right away but I BEG YOU ALL for your understanding
