Janey Godley celebrates her 61st birthday with smiling selfie three weeks post op

Janey Godley turned 61 today and marked the occasion with a smiley selfie.

The Scots comedian, who underwent a hysterectomy three weeks ago, took to social media to tell fans that she will be consuming a lot of cake on her birthday.

Janey has been taking it easy following her hysterectomy surgery and being told her that she has stage three ovarian cancer.

The news means Janey's cancer has spread beyond her ovaries and will now require further treatment. Stage 3b means there are cancer growths 2cm or smaller in size on the lining of the abdomen and there may also be cancer in the lymph nodes.

Despite everything going on, Janey smiled for a birthday selfie with sunglasses on top of her head, and wrote: "Today I am 61 years old - birthday cake will be eaten!"

Fans were quick to wish her a happy birthday.

One wrote: "Happy Birthday to one of my all time heroines."

Another added: "Wishing you a very happy birthday May your year ahead be filled with joy, happiness, good health, wealth, good luck, and plenty of love and fun You thoroughly deserve it because you are absolutely top quality and the best."

While one said: "Happy Birthday to the most beautiful lady I have yet to meet. Keep smiling as you make many smile everyday."

While another added: "A huge happy birthday to you. You kept us all going through covid it was my daily fix. Was lucky got to see your show live. Now it’s our turn to keep you going through this horrible time."

Earlier this week, Janey shared adorable footage of her being reunited with her little dog Honey for the first time since her surgery and fans were left in tears.

Another added: "Omg what a welcome, nearly had me in tears."

Whilst one said: "Crying with happiness! What a fantastic welcome home from Wee Honey Doll."

And another wrote: "No im not crying, ive got something in my eye.."
