Janey Godley has shared that she is now receiving end-of-life care after her terminal ovarian cancer spread.

The 63-year-old comedian from Glasgow posted on social media that she is receiving palliative care in a hospital and will soon be moving into a hospice.

‘I’m now at end of life care – 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,’ she wrote on X.

Alongside the message, she shared a video where she spoke further about her situation.

‘The chemo ran out of options, and I couldn’t take anymore of it,’ she began.

‘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 it to people.’

Janey added: ‘It is devastating news but we all come to an end sometime.’

The star also thanked the NHS, friends and family for their support.

This comes shortly after Janey cancelled her autumn tour Why Is She Still Here? explaining that her cancer had spread.

Taking to social media with a heartbreaking statement, she announced: ‘I have to cancel my upcoming tour, I’m sorry but the cancer has spread and the Beatson cancer team have advised me to stop work.

‘I am currently in hospital with sepsis ( it’s under control) pls contact your theatre for a refund – I’m sorry everyone.’
