Janey Godley broke down in tears as she revealed she got a ‘clear scan’ amid her battle with terminal cancer.
The comedian, 62, was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer three years ago and has given her fans health updates on social media.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Janey became emotional as she shared some positive news with her followers.
She said: ‘I just got the news that the scan is clear. Another three months.’
The comic then thanked her fans for their well wishes and described their ongoing support as ‘overwhelming’.

Janey announced in June 2022 that her cancer had gone into remission after she had a hysterectomy in January. However, the disease returned last December.
The cancer was this time detected in her abdomen, meaning the star had to undergo chemotherapy again.
In the video, Janey said: ‘This is how I’m going to live my life, in three month increments.’
She then removed her glasses to wipe away tears before adding: ‘Wow. Another clear scan – yes, yes.’
Thanking the healthcare workers, Janey said: ‘I will never have the all clear, like millions of people I am living with a life limiting disease but I am receiving treatment and today I got a clear scan.
‘I get scans every three months -thanks @Beatson_Charity and Scottish NHS and thanks to everyone.’
Janey previously said she has accepted she could die from cancer within a year but says she can face death content that her family will be provided for.
The star said she finds comfort knowing her husband Sean Storrie, 61, and their daughter Ashley, 36, will be financially secure.

Janey said: ‘It will come back. It starts off as ovarian cancer then peritoneal cancer and then they’ll keep fighting it until my body decides I can’t fight it anymore’
Speaking to MailOnline, she said: ‘I worked hard. I have a great daughter. I’ve got a marriage that’s lasted 43 year.
‘I’m proud of the fact that despite all the s***e that was flung at me I managed to make my family financially secure which was very important to me because I came from such poverty.
‘It’s very important that my daughter will never have to worry about the electricity bill or being evicted or the rent not being paid.
‘She will never have to worry about her dinner. Level six has been achieved so I can leave the game.’
Janey added: ‘The treatment I’m getting is once a week then it will go back to once every three weeks. My last scan was clear and I have to keep doing the chemo until it takes over again.

‘It will come back. It’s the nature of that cancer. It starts off as ovarian cancer then peritoneal cancer and then they’ll keep fighting it until my body decides I can’t fight it anymore.’
Though she has come to terms with the prognosis, others are struggling.
‘I have to accept that I’ve got something that’s life-limiting and it’s not all-clear. That’s hard for people to understand,’ she says.
‘Friends and family are coming to terms with the fact that this isn’t a good story. It’s not the story of Janey getting cancer and then being fine. It’s difficult for people.’
The comedian found fame when she held up a rude sign to Donald Trump in 2016.
Her profile rose in the pandemic thanks to her spoof voiceovers of Nicola Sturgeon’s daily Covid briefings.
