Comedian Janey Godley cancels tour from hospital bed

However, she later announced that another scan had shown signs of the disease in her abdomen but she would continue with her tour in February and March 2023.

In a video posted to social media last year, she said the treatment she was on was keeping her terminal and incurable ovarian cancer “at bay”.

Earlier in the year, the comedian performed dates across the country in towns and cities including Bristol, Epsom, Norwich and Milton Keynes.

Born in Glasgow in 1961, Ms Godley went on to become a regular co-presenter on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends, as well as fronting BBC Radio 4 series The C Bomb.

In 2023 the comedian won the inaugural Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

She featured in Scottish government coronavirus adverts but they were pulled after offensive historical tweets by her came to light.
