Scottish comedian Janey Godley, who had terminal cancer, has died aged 63.

Godley’s death comes one month after she moved to a hospice for end-of-life care, with her daughter announcing earlier this week that she was in the “final beats of her life”.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our client Doctor Janey Godley on 2nd November,” her agent said on Saturday.

“Janey died peacefully in the wonderful Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow surrounded by her loved ones. She will be hugely missed by her family, friends and her many fans.

“She will be remembered for her legendary voice overs of Nicola Sturgeon during the pandemic, her hilarious and outspoken comedy, but most of all for just being ‘Janey’.”
