Obsessed' Fan Who Mugged BBC Radio 2’s Janice Long Faces Jail Time - Janice had just attended an Echo & the Bunnymen gig in London when she was targeted by Rita Isidori outside BBC Broadcasting House. The 52-year-old – a ‘fanatical’ fan of the band – pushed Miss Long up against a wall and shouted: ‘I’m a journalist, give me your pass!’ She then ripped the pass – a large fabric sticker from the DJ’s clothing and ran away. Janice suffered an injury to her right hand and bruising to her back. She’d been on her way to host her late-night show when the attack happened on September 26 last year. Shortly afterwards, Isidori turned up at the concert venue, the London Palladium, and was spotted by the band’s manager Pete Byrne, who had been alerted by Miss Long. Police were called and Isidori was arrested. At Southwark Crown Court yesterday, Peter Zinner, prosecuting, said: ‘Being an obsessed fan and being desperate to gain access to the concert and backstage party... she waited for an opportunity. She saw Miss Long leaving, followed her and then she attacked’. Isidori, who is from Italy but lives in Dunlop, near Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, pleaded guilty to robbery.
