LORRAINE Kelly and Nigella Lawson are among the voices welcoming the news that Janey Godley is clear of cancer.
The Scottish comedian shared the news on social media on Tuesday.
“My cancer scan came back clear. My breast screening came back clear,” Godley wrote.
“I will never be cured of ovarian cancer but I will continue to be treated for it thanks Scottish NHS and @Beatson_Charity.
“I am now off to get a glass of champagne.”
Great news @JaneyGodley - enjoy that bubbly ❤️ https://t.co/uPxeUt1BeG

As the comic told The National in March, she has been diagnosed with “pernicious and persistent” peritoneal cancer, which occurs in the thin layer of tissue lining the inside of the abdomen.
“Peritoneal cancer is definitely not survivable, so I was given some very bad news. It will come back and it will keep coming back until it kills me.”
But for now, Godley has been given the all-clear.
The news was welcomed by TV host Lorraine. “Great news @JaneyGodley – enjoy that bubbly,” she wrote, adding a love heart emoji.
The SNP deputy leader Keith Brown also welcomed the “great news”, as did Nigella Lawson. “This is the best news!” the famous chef wrote.
Singer Horse McDonald was among the other famous faces welcoming the news.
“Bloody brilliant. I hope the champagne was really well chilled,” Twitter user Jessica Rowley added.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
