The comedian, from Glasgow, cancelled her autumn tour after her doctors advised her to stop working earlier this month.
Now, the 63-year-old confirmed in a video shared on X/ Twitter that she was receiving palliative care and would be going into a hospice for the foreseeable future.
In her video, she thanked the NHS, Marie Curie as well as medical staff who have helped her so far. She said: “It is devastating news, to know that I’m facing end of life but we all come to an end some time.” Godley finished the video by sending love and support to people living with a “life-limiting disease” before confirming it was why she had to cancel the tour. The comedian, who found viral fame with her dubbed pastiches of Nicola Sturgeon’s coronavirus news briefings during the pandemic, revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.
