The world of comedy has lost a beloved star as Janey Godley passed away at the age of 63 after a courageous battle with cancer. Her agent shared the heartbreaking news, revealing that she was surrounded by her loved ones in a hospice at the time of her passing.
Janey rose to viral fame during the pandemic with her hilarious imitations of Nicola Sturgeon's COVID-19 news briefings. She had a huge following and was adored by her fans, who were devastated to hear that she was receiving end-of-life care for her terminal illness last month.
Her agent paid a heartfelt tribute to Janey, saying, "It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our client, Doctor Janey Godley, on 2nd November. She passed away peacefully in the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow, surrounded by her family. She will be deeply missed by her loved ones and her countless fans."
Janey's iconic voiceovers of Nicola Sturgeon's speeches, as well as her sharp and outspoken comedy, will be her legacy. But above all, she will be remembered as simply "Janey."
In September, she had to cancel her autumn tour due to stage four ovarian cancer. Her daughter took to Janey's social media account to share the news of her mother's passing with her 202k followers. She said, "Hello friends, my mum Janey Godley passed away this morning at around 7 am. She was surrounded by her family and friends, and I wanted to share this news with you personally because I know it's what she would have wanted."
Just a month ago, Janey had shared that she was in end-of-life care, and her daughter expressed her gratitude to the staff at the hospice and Janey's "found family" who were by her side during her last days. She also thanked all the fans for their overwhelming love and support, which she believes gave her mother the strength to keep fighting.
Since the news of her passing broke, celebrities and fans alike have been pouring in with tributes for the beloved comedian. Nicola Sturgeon, who was also a close friend of Janey, wrote on Instagram, "Janey Godley was a force of nature and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago, and even in her fragile state, she had me in stitches." She added that she was lucky to have Janey as a friend and that she would miss her deeply.
Other stars like Denise Welch also paid their respects, and fans have flooded social media with messages of love and support for Janey's family.
