Comedian Janey Godley receiving end-of-life hospice care as she shares ‘devastating’ health update --[Reported by Umva mag]

JANEY Godley has confirmed she is receiving end-of-life hospice care.

The Scots comic, 63, admitted that she’s “near the end” of a brave ovarian cancer battle.

The funnywoman was last week forced to cancel up upcoming tour after a bout of sepsis caused by the deadly disease.

And in a heartbreaking update, Janey revealed that the chemotherapy ran out and she was “out of options”.

Godley thanked the NHS and those who have cared for her as well as her family, friends and fans for their support.

She said: “So I’m now in palliative care and I’m at end-of-life care now in the hospital.”

“The chemo ran out of options and I just couldn’t take any more of it and the cancer has spread.

“So it looks like this will be getting to near the end of it and it’s really difficult to speak about this and say to people.”

She also thanked charities who have supported her throughout her health journey.

Godley, who found viral fame with her dubbed pastiches of Nicola Sturgeon’s coronavirus news briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.

She wrote online: “I’m now at end-of-life – palliative care-and will be going into a hospice for the foreseeable – thanks to everyone who sends me love and support- you’ve been amazing.”

Earlier this month, she cancelled her forthcoming tour this autumn due to her stage four ovarian cancer, which had been kept at bay through NHS treatment over the last few years and had returned with a few added complications.

In the new video, she added: “It is devastating news to know that I’m facing end-of-life but we all come to an end sometime.

“I want to thank everybody for supporting the family, especially (her daughter) Ashley and my husband.

“The overwhelming support has been amazing, and I don’t know how long I’ve got left before anybody asks. I’m not a TikTok.

“So I just want you to know that I appreciate all the love you’ve gave me and all the support. Cancer affects two in one people, and it’s affected me.”

She wished everyone a lovely Christmas and said she hopes to be here for it but is not certain.

The comedian also sent her “love and support to everybody else out there who’s living with a life-limiting disease”.

Born in poverty in Glasgow in 1961, 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.

The comedian was photographed at Turnberry golf resort with her infamous “unwelcome” sign for Donald Trump in 2016.

In 2023, Godley became the winner of the inaugural Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
