STV NewsComedian Janey Godley has revealed to fans that her cancer has returned ahead of what may be her “last” tour next year.
She took to Twitter on Tuesday, telling followers that recent tests had shown signs of the disease in her abdomen, and she will need more chemotherapy as a result.
In the video, she said: “My recent scan and my blood tests showed that my cancer marker went up.
“There’s still a bit of disease in my abdomen. So I want you all to know that I’ll be going through some more chemotherapy.
“I also want you to know that I’m going ahead with the tour in February and March. I am determined to get back on stage.
“I’m looking forward to the tour, I think it’s fair and honest to say it might be the last time you see me live on stage. I’m hoping it’s not, but I think it’s a fair estimation.”
The 61-year-old underwent a hysterectomy earlier this year after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2021.
Travelling across Scotland with some shows in London, her upcoming tour is set to kick off in February 2023.
The comedian found viral fame with her dubbed pastiches of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s coronavirus news briefings during the pandemic.
She featured in Scottish Government coronavirus adverts but they were pulled after offensive tweets by her came to light following an investigation by the Daily Beast website.
The news broke soon after the Covid-19 ads featuring Godley, for which she was paid £12,000, were released.
Godley profusely apologised for the tweets and donated the fee she was paid by the Scottish Government to charity.
