Scots comedian Janey Godley has said she is grateful for support after a Tory Party campaign mocked her as she showed off her new makeover.
Janey, who is currently battling stage 3 ovarian cancer and showed off her pixie style and make up, thanked fans online and told of her gratitude in life.
She said: "Today I am grateful for ....My family who have supported me endlessly, My twitter and FB pals who hold me up when I buckle, My wee dog who came to us in the most precarious circumstances My GP who insisted I lie back and let her feel my abdomen."
The Glasgow-born author and actress also thanked people specifically with regards to an “utterly despicable” Scottish Tory attack aimed at her.
The party, led by Douglas Ross, posted a mock “contract” on Twitter looking for someone to star in a public health campaign.
They wrote: “The First Minister chose to make her nationalist friend the face of a crucial public health campaign despite admitting she was seen as a partisan political figure."
“When will @NicolaSturgeon apologise for this irresponsible decision?”
The ad referred to Janey's participation in a Scottish Government Covid-19 public health campaign.
She was pulled from the campaign following historical tweets being published.
She apologised unreservedly and gave the £10,000 she got for it to charity.
People hit out to defend Janey given her poor state of health.
SNP’s Ross Colquhoun wrote:“The person you are referring to is currently receiving treatment for a serious illness.
"This tweet is misjudged, ill timed and very unkind."
Another added: "Maybe you didn't know, but that person is currently very unwell and she could do without a revival of this story at the moment."
