TURNER SETS EX UP FOR LIFE

ARCTIC MONKEY's frontman ALEX TURNER has reportedly ensured his ex-girlfriend is financially secure for life, after he included her name in one of the band's song credits.

Turner, 21, split from student Johanna Bennet in January (07) after two years together.

But the singer is alleged to have credited his former lover on the rockers' next single Fluorescent Adolescent, which she helped to write, making sure she gets a cut of the profits from what has already been tipped as a big chart hit.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Johanna and Alex are still close friends. They might not be going out with each other any longer, but there's still a great deal of affection between the couple.

"Fluorescent Adolescent is likely to be a monster hit when it's released this summer and Johanna can expect to make a pretty penny from her contribution to the writing.

"She's likely to be receiving royalties from the record for the rest of her life, which could add up to a significant amount."
