She was surrounded by her family

Godley had been receiving treatment for ovarian cancer after she was forced to cancel her ‘Why Is She Still Here?’ tour.

The 63-year-old found viral fame with her dubbed videos of Nicola Sturgeon’s Covid briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.

Her manager Chris David announced the news saying she died peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.

A post on her Instagram account read: “Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.

“The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

“We will take time now to comfort one another and wish to thank everyone for respecting our privacy at this time.
Remember her in your laughter, she would have liked that.”

It comes just days after her daughter Ashley Storrie gave an update saying her mum was in the ‘final beats of her life’.

On Thursday Godley was made an honorary doctorate of the University of Glasgow and smiled for a picture with her certificate in her hospice bed.
