Janey Godley has vowed she is "going out with a bang" in an emotional health update.

The Scots comic opened up to Lorraine Kelly this morning as she confirmed her cancer is "treatable but not curable".

Janey, 62, was in tears as she told the ITV host she is determined to keep fighting and said she's not a "human advent calendar" as people keeping asking "how long she has left".

Lorraine described her fellow Scot as "remarkably brave" as Janey appeared on the show via videolink, saying: "The thing about ovarian stage 3 cancer is it's treatable but not curable, and it's always there and it's always going to come back and I'm always going to have to keep fighting it.

"I'm feeling good, I'm getting the chemotherapy every week now and then a week off, I'm feeling surprising spritely just now for someone going through chemo just now, it's different from what I had before.

"People keep saying 'how long I've got left', I'm no a human advent calendar and I don't have an answer for them, I don't know how long I've got but like a mayfly I'm going to enjoy it while I can but I'm going to go on tour and if I'm gonny go oot I'll go oot with a bang."

"This time it's on my peritoneum, which is the organ that holds all your bits in around your tummy, and I'm going to have to just deal with that, I have to say that the Beatson and Scottish NHS have been astounding, they've been there at every single point. They are just wonderful, they've saved my life so far."

Janey told Lorraine she's been feeling good and can't wait to get out on the road despite facing gruelling treatment.

The funny woman also revealed she can't wait to see fans and she is determined to put on a good show as she opened up about her last tour ever, entitled 'Janey's Not Dead
