JANEY Godley’s daughter has shared that the pair “had a cry” over her nomination for a prestigious national award saying it is an important moment for the both of them.
Ashley Storrie is a writer and star of BBC comedy Dinosaur and said that her mum was the person she told that she had been nominated for a Bafta Scotland award.
Last week, Godley announced she was receiving end-of-life care following the spread of her cancer.
Storrie told BBC Scotland that when she told her mum about the good news on a video call, they both “had a cry”.
She said: "This is massive for her.
“This is something she always wanted, and she never really got the opportunity and so to be able to do it for both of us is very important.”
Storrie, who has autism, said the role in Dinosaur, which is a comedy about love and friendship, enabled her to “unmask” in real life.
She went on to explain that the show’s portrayal of a lead character offers something a bit different as “it's not all doom and gloom”.
The winners of Bafta Scotland will be announced on November 17.
Taking to social media, Storrie posted a screengrab of the video call with her mum, saying: “She’s probably going to kill me for how unflattering this is.”
Godley also posted online, saying: “I'm so proud.”
Godley rose to viral fame with her voice-over videos of Nicola Sturgeon's Covid briefings during the pandemic.
The Glaswegian revealed she had ovarian cancer in November 2021.
Last week Godley said online that she was receiving palliative care in hospital and would be going into a hospice.
She said: “It is devastating news to know I'm facing end of life, but we all come to an end sometime.”
