Trinny Woodall recalls the harrowing moment she had to tell her daughter Lyla, 11, that her father Johnny Elichaoff had died by suicide
Trinny Woodall has recalled the harrowing moment she had to tell her daughter Lyla, then 11, that her father Johnny Elichaoff had died by suicide. The fashion and beauty entrepreneur, 61, who rose to fame as co-host of What Not to Wear spoke about losing her ex-husband Jonny in a candid new podcast chat on Monday. Former drummer and businessman Johnny died in 2014 at the age of 55 after taking his own life in a shopping mall. Trinny and Jonny, who share daughter Lyla, who is now 21, married in 1999 before getting divorced a decade later in 2009 - but they remained friends and spoke every day until his death. As well as daughter Lyla, Johnny had his son Zak from his first marriage Speaking on Ferne Cotton's Happy Place podcast this week, Trinny explained how she approached the task of telling Lyla the news. She said: 'I think it's different because both of Johnny's, Lyla was 11 and Zach was 21 and so you have an awareness of quite a lot but the concept of what death is different at 21 from 11. 'When I heard about Lila's dad, Lila was at school and my first challenge was how can I even tell her, how can I say the words to tell her and so my sister was a friend of a woman called Julia Samuel, who wrote an amazing book, Grief Works and she's fantastic. 'Julia came around to our house and I just said, 'I need some words' and so she said, 'You're going to tell her he had a heart attack in his head'.' Trinny continued: 'She came back from school and came upstairs and immediately felt, why am I getting upstairs? I've just come back. I usually go down the kitchen and get something to eat and Zach was in the bedroom and we lay her on the bed. 'We told her and she screamed really loudly and it was like an animal scream and then 20 minutes later she's downstairs getting a snack, so children's absorption of what has happened is that there's that gut, she really loved her dad. 'This thing is just, she can't quite understand it, but she knows that he's not coming back in some daily way and then we had a cremation so then there's a real awareness.' She also spoke about navigating her own grief and letting go of any guilt she may have felt over his death. Trinny explained: 'I think going back to earlier, it's that would've, should've, could've - so do I regret that I didn't do more for my ex-husband to stop him killing himself? 'No, because it was nothing I could have done. Yeah, so to ponder on the regret of somebody who kills himself, it can take you into the darkest hole, but you can also know when somebody who is in that situation switches off and that is their path and nobody can get in. 'I had to learn and I think there's some there's two fabulous charities who look at that. It's the biggest case of men dying under 50.' Jonny found fame as a touring drummer for U2, Siouxsie Sioux and the League of Gentlemen in the Eighties. Johnny, who had battled an addiction to painkillers for 20 years, took his own life at the Whiteley's shopping centre in Bayswater, west London, in November 2014. The drummer-turned-businessman had been talked down from the same spot 11 days previously and was sectioned briefly. But he returned to the shopping centre twice more in the space of five days before finally killing himself the next day. Johnny married TV presenter Trinny in 1999 in London's Knightsbridge and the couple had a child Lyla, now 21, before they divorced in 2009, but remained on good terms. An inquest into his death was conducted at Westminster Coroner's Court in November 2015, during which Trinny's brother Mark Woodall read a statement from the presenter. She wrote: 'Johnny Elichaoff was a much loved brother, father and husband and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. 'Even in his darkest moments he was always there for those who needed him as a parent, brother, son and spouse with unconditional love and support. 'As a person he had the best sense of humour, he was unconditionally kind and never spoke ill of other people. 'He was heartfelt with his advice and had the ability to always make people feel better once they had confided in him. 'Everyone who met him had a story to tell about and not a day goes by his family don't think of him and the utter tragedy of his passing.'

Sir Nick Faldo is sport's most improved broadcaster
Given that the man has won six majors, it might not be the most coveted trophy he'll ever squeeze on to what must be one of sport's most groaning mantelpieces, but if they are giving out awards for the most improved sports broadcaster, Sir Nick Faldo would be in with a strong shout of scooping the prize. The golf legend himself, and those who have been working with him, deserve a lot of credit: where he was once wooden and grumpy, he has now become a co-commentator of good humour, insight and feeling. His work for Sky Sports at the Open in this renewal was excellent. It is hard to think of a better match-up of ex-player analyst and current player situation than Sir Nick on the relentless front-runner Scottie Scheffler, and he delivered not just on the golfing challenges of such a win but the mental requirements as well. In the taxonomy of British sporting greats turned broadcasters, I would put Sir Nick in the same category as Stephen Hendry: perceived during his imperial phase as a remorseless, aloof grinder, revealed in his later years to be surprisingly jolly company on the telly and probably not such a bad bloke all things considered. Perhaps it is not surprising that a personality type that would toil fanatically at one endeavour could focus that work ethic upon mastering another discipline, although that being said, it is not hard to think of some ex-players who remain as lumpen on the mic after 10 years as they did on day one. For instance – and while it is hardly the crime of the century – Sir Nick used to have an irritating habit of saying 'smidgen' all the time. Someone has clearly put in a smidgen of work advising him to tone that down a smidgen and the result is more than a smidgen of an improvement. You see? It grates. And now he's stopped it. So fair play. I am confident in speculating that someone of Sir Nick's clout and single-mindedness would not have noticed this sort of tic on his own nor made efforts to correct it unbidden, therefore I can conclude that he has been open-minded enough to accept notes on his broadcast work from a trusted adviser. There was even a genuinely funny bit about having to go on a diet before the Ryder Cup because he had caused injury to a chair. Credit must go to the golf bods at Sky, who have created an environment in which Sir Nick can succeed and overall put on a top-notch package for these majors. Peter Alliss had been synonymous with and indivisible from TV golf for so long – perhaps too long – that Sky were obliged to go for a different sort of approach whether they liked it or not, and this has become more distinctive year on year for a while now. Sky's coverage might lack the raconteurish, moving-smoothly-through-the-second-bottle charm of an Alliss or a Test Match Special but that has in fact worked in its favour because it has allowed Sky to play to its strengths with innovation and technical insight to tap into the fact that a lot of people watching actually play the game and want to get better at it. Flights of lyrical fancy might be thinner on the ground than the BBC coverage of yore but that's not necessarily a problem if you like the technocratic, graphical wizardry approach that Sky has made its own. In fact, the only colourful language to be heard this week came when the microphones kept picking up various potty-mouthed outbursts from players who had hit bad shots, Rory McIlroy at least twice, with the commentators having to apologise each time. Anyone who has ever attempted to hit a one-and-three-quarter inch ball into a teacup 400 yards away with a small bit of metal on a stick would surely forgive the occasional swear word. Around these parts at least, there was no blue outburst when they welcomed Sir Nick to the microphone each time and, given that he was once at best a 24-handicapper on the telly, this represents progress indeed.

Some say Virgin's best days are behind it, but it still has an X-factor
From the moment its first flight took to the skies 41 years ago last month, Virgin Atlantic has raised the bar. Sir Richard Branson installed a real bar on the upper deck of his Boeing 747 jumbo jets with a bartender mixing martinis. Six of them for James Bond in Quantum of Solace. Bars on all his smaller jets followed, although my memories of when and how are a little hazy. An on-board beauty therapist offered back massages and manicures. 'BA don't give a shiatsu,' the Virgin advertisements at the time joked. Sporting lipstick-red uniforms with matching shoes and handbags, Virgin's trolley dollies (it was the 1980s) served ice cream in the cheap seats. From 1991 there were seatback TV screens in all cabins, a first for any carrier. Virgin was the first major airline to offer premium economy and its Upper Class suites were the first to give every business class passenger direct aisle access. Branson also pioneered a limousine airport transfer to and from airports and drive-in check-in. Small wonder we all upgraded to Virgin Atlantic. But now the bar is gone. Despite Branson's insistence in an interview with me last year that he would correct the 'dreadful mistake' of removing the bar on new jets in favour of a glorified sofa in a corridor called somewhat optimistically 'the loft', it is no more. Virgin's new Airbus A330s and refurbished Boeing 787 Dreamliners will, instead, have more seats, to increase revenue, its CEO Shai Weiss announced earlier this month at an event to chart the future of the carrier. Cue wails from passengers and cabin crew with great memories of a party at 39,000ft. Louise Virr, a former cabin crew member, wrote on Instagram: 'Such a shame. Those bars brought people together.' Her favourite memory? Colin Farrell having one too many 'and taking his top off two hours in'. Ah, the good old days. The bar, which will be phased out on existing jets by 2028 as Virgin refurbishes its fleet, is not the only innovation that Virgin has ditched. The on-board beauty therapist has long gone. So have the spas in the Clubhouses in London and New York. The bespoke suites in Upper Class, which were groundbreaking, have been replaced on the A330s with a standard seat used by dozens of other carriers tarted up with Virgin colours. Some now say Virgin's best days are behind it. 'Virgin Atlantic used to lead,' argues Henry Harteveldt of leading aviation analyst Atmosphere Research. 'But it has become a 'used to' airline. It used to be the innovator. It used to push boundaries. It stopped doing anything new years ago. Virgin is a 'past tense' airline.' Harteveldt has a point. The loft is a failure. I fly Virgin around a dozen times a year and I've yet to see anyone enjoying themselves in the space as they used to in the bar. Premium economy, once a world beater, is outgunned by Emirates and Cathay Pacific. But I'm not sure it is a mistake to axe the bar or that Virgin is on the wrong track. The world of aviation is today almost unrecognisable from 1984 when Virgin launched. Back then the bar was a good way for Virgin to differentiate itself from British Airways as cooler and more fun. But the new deep-pocketed Gulf carriers – Dubai's Emirates, Qatar Airways and the Abu Dhabi-based Etihad – have overtaken Virgin when it comes to showers and on-board lounges. The Emirates bar on its iconic Airbus A380 superjumbos boasts a table where four people can buckle up and drink and dine. Qatar's bar on its A380 is even bigger than Emirates's and offers seatbelts on its vast bench seats. Virgin's three bar stools are too small for seatbelts so, unlike on Emirates or Qatar, you have to return to your seat if turbulence strikes. What's more, when the Virgin bar was introduced passengers were held captive on planes, albeit with champagne. There was no Wi-Fi. Many travellers now prefer to work on board or to stream live sports or entertainment. Virgin will be the first UK airline to install superfast, reliable Starlink Wi-Fi which will be free for all passengers, Weiss announced earlier this month. The real battle for most airlines is to become more premium and offer bigger and better suites for high-spending customers. Virgin is increasing the number of Upper Class suites it has on its new and refurbished planes by up to 30 per cent and is creating up to eight vast Retreat Suites. The Retreat Suite has a 6ft 7in (2m) long fully flat bed, a 27in touch screen and the ottoman and table are big enough for couples to dine together facing each other. Retreat Suite passengers, who pay a few hundred pounds to upgrade, may in future receive better wines and food than those in the regular Upper Class suites. This will put Virgin Upper Class above BA Club World business class and take the fight to Qatar Airways' Qsuite and Cathay Pacific's new Aria Suite. Where Virgin has always been best in class – and where it can outgun its flashier Gulf competitors – is on service. Its cabin crew and ground staff are the most helpful of any carrier. They look as if they enjoy their jobs (unlike BA staff), and are not afraid to crack a joke. My favourite one is the story Branson told about an obnoxious passenger who would not wait in the check-in queue for a Virgin flight at Sydney airport, despite being repeatedly (but politely) asked to do so. The man eventually marched up to the nearest Virgin check-in desk and shouted 'F--- you!' at one of the female staff. Without hesitating she replied: 'I'm afraid you'll have to get in the queue for that too.' Since the Gulf carriers are creatures of globalisation, with multi-national crew and ground staff, they can lack personality and humour. Shai Weiss is right to dial up Virgin's 'red thread' of red hot service. But he needs to do more. As Harteveldt puts it: 'New generations of travellers, who never got to experience Virgin in its earlier years, can today be forgiven for seeing it as just another airline. It needs to find new ways to better and meaningfully distinguish itself from competitors.' For my money Weiss should start by bringing back the spa in the Clubhouses and Revivals arrivals lounge in London and New York as part of the refurbishment of Virgin's lounges which he also announced earlier this month. BA has done away with its Elemis spas and the Gulf carriers do not prioritise them. Bring back the treatments, Shai! You can charge if you like. If your sister carrier Delta can offer massages in its new Delta One lounges, so can you. We can hit the hotel bar afterwards – and dream of the days of mile-high fizz.
