Ollie Henry, wife and former co-host to the late Stuart Henry on Radio Luxembourg has died in Wales.

Ollie’s become a radio host after her husband Stuart was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As the disease progressed, Stuart found lengthy speech increasingly difficult, so Ollie helped by reading his news bulletins.

As such Ollie would be in the studio during Stuart’s Radio Luxembourg shows, and would sometimes add commentary.

These interactions led to to led to them becoming a double act which became known as the Stu & Ollie Show.

Former Luxembourg DJ and Programme Controller Tony Prince wrote about Ollie’s broadcasting in his book The Royal Ruler & the Railway DJ: “In her own right Ollie would not have made a Radio Luxembourg DJ. Her accent was too plum, her demeanour too sophisticated for rock ‘n’ roll radio. But with her comments and her style steered by Stuart, Ollie somehow worked out quite well on the former ‘Station of the Stars’.”

Announcing the sad news on Facebook, Tony Prince said: “I have the saddest of news to impart. Yesterday the wife of that beautiful man in the centre of this photo passed away. Ollie Henry died in Wales and I send her partner Tom, who treated Stuart at the end of his days, my deepest sympathy.

“Every one of us who knew Ollie knew a beautiful human being, she loved and cared for Stuart through the happy days of Radio 1 and then came to live in Luxembourg where Stuart’s MS was diagnosed.

“A staring peace this day descends, the sun for sorrow will not show his head.

“God bless you Ollie.”
