Scottish comedian Janey Godley dies aged 63
She was "surrounded by her loved ones" in hospital, her management has confirmed.

In a video posted on social media, Ms Storrie said: "I wanted to tell you face to face because it felt very much what she would have wanted.

"She went peacefully and I want to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice."

Mentioning a number of loved ones, she said: "Thank you so much for being there and for making a very, very scary moment peaceful and a nice transition."

She then addressed Ms Godley's followers, thanking them for their kindness and support.

"I believe in my heart of hearts that she felt every bit of love you sent to her," she said. "I think it kept her going, genuinely we got her longer because of all the support and the love in the world."

She finished her video with "Bye Ma", adding: "Frank, get the door" - a reference to Ms Godley's famed voice overs of Nicola Sturgeon.
