Janey Godley: People say I’m faking cancer

In the wake of the scandal over her tweets, Godley was immediately dropped as the face of a Scottish government health campaign.

For someone who had been a guest onstage with former FM Alex Salmond, and admired by Nicola Sturgeon, whom she had mimicked in a series of comedy voiceovers during Covid, it hit hard.

“It was definitely political, she says.

“There were people ready to get me. They tried. So did cancer, and guess what? I’m still here.”

Godley insists she was not “cancelled” and the only other lost business was a pantomime in Aberdeen, which she would have been unable to do following her cancer diagnosis.

She continued to tour but was worn down by the noise on social media.

“It made me suicidal,” she says.

“I was ready to end it all because I felt I had let down so many people.

“But every night I stepped on stage the whole theatre was on their feet cheering me on and I thought these people want me to keep doing this,” she says.
