Janey Godley ‘broken’ after being targeted by vile trolls who sent her picture of grave

Janey Godley has admitted that she feels broken after online trolls sent her a picture of a grave with her name on it.

The Scots comic, who is currently battling terminal cancer, said she is often targeted on social media, but admitted the sinister message had really affected her.

The sick post was sent on X, formerly Twitter, and featured a picture of a gravestone with the words ‘Janey Currie – 1961 – 2024’ emblazoned on it. Currie is Janey’s middle name.

Sharing the vile tweet, the comedian, 63, said: “This broke me – seeing my grave they created . I tried to not let it, but it got me.”
