Marking the anniversary of his death, Trinny wrote: ‘It’s been 10 years since Jonny left us. When I look back now and choose these images to reflect Jonny, I just feel very sad that he is no longer in our lives. 

‘At his best there was no one better, funnier, more caring, more loving, more supportive, more generous of heart. I so miss the best of him, but I’m also so grateful that I see that every day reflected in Lyla and Zak. 

‘It takes time to heal from the tragic consequences of death. But we can heal, and the joy of memories is that we can be left with the best ones…..’

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 19, before they divorced in 2009, but remained on good terms.

Beauty entrepreneur and former TV presenter Trinny said she didn’t get to grieve for Johnny Elichaoff until six months ago – eight years after his death – when their daughter Lyla left home, leaving her alone.

Johnny, who also had a son Zak from a previous relationship, took his life in 2014 aged 55. 

Although he was known to have suffered a series of failed oil investments before his death, Trinny said he was going through such turmoil that he’d convinced himself his children were better off without him – despite his hypervigilance over their welfare.

Johnny’s death came after the couple had divorced, but Trinny said they remained so close that they would still speak every day until he died.

Trinny opened up about her ex-husband’s suicide, saying it was hard to understand how someone so obsessed with their children’s welfare would end their life

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 pᴀssing.’
