On tour with her daughter after her cancer diagnosis the Scottish national treasure opens up about her life and finds big laughs in the face of death
Here’s a documentary following the Glaswegian standup comic Janey Godley on her Not Dead Yet Tour; in 2022, Godley was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer, and she does the first gig in Inverness a day after chemotherapy. And God, is she funny, with jokes running the gamut from the disgraced peer Michelle Mone living in a static caravan to cancer. Her daughter, Ashley Storrie, also hilarious, does the warm up.
The title of the film is just Janey; no surname necessary – not in Scotland anyway, where Godley has a special place in people’s hearts. During Covid her voiceovers of first minister Nicola Sturgeon’s press conferences went viral (I remember watching one feeling almost guilty for laughing so hard). Before that, in...

Following the footsteps of her sister Pixie, Peaches Geldof has stripped down for underwear brand Ultimo. The 20-year-old socialite bares her heavily tattooed body in yet another scantily-clad shoot for the lingerie brand.
The "It Girl's" tattoos were contrasted with an array of milkshakes, cupcakes and lollypops in the shoot, which sees her wearing retro-inspired yet provocative knickers. "I'd rather young girls were looking at a normal body like mine rather than an anorexic model", she said.
The younger Geldof was reportedly chosen for the shoot after Ultimo boss Michelle Mone looked at her topless shots of her on the beach, that graced the tabloid papers some time back.
Mone commented, "Peaches was the perfect choice for this campaign. She's young, edgy with lashings of style," reports Marie Claire. I'd rather young girls were looking at a normal body like mine rather than an anorexic model", she continued.
