The daughter of the late Janey Godley won two awards at the Scottish Bafta awards and paid tearful tribute to her mum.

Janey Godley's daughter paid a tearful tribute to the late comic after winning two Scottish Baftas - as she recalled how they had first attended the event as gate-crashers.

She said: "I've been coming here since I was 15 with my mammy, when we snuck into our first Baftas. We went to the after-party. A lady came up to us and said 'who are you?' She lied and said she was Elaine C Smith.

"It is a bit weird that she is not with me, but at the same time she is always going to be with me.

"She is part of me, she raised me, she made me who I am and she is pretty much in my DNA. She's here."

The BAFTA Scotland Audience Award in partnership with Screen Scotland, the only BAFTA Scotland Award voted for by members of the public, went to Ashley Storrie for her performance in Dinosaur. Ashley Storrie celebrated another win, alongside Dinosaur co-creator Matilda Curtis, for Writer Film/Television.

Ashley is the only daughter of comedian and actor Janey Godley who died at the start of November, a month after she moved to a hospice for end-of-life care.

Reflecting on the difficult journey with cancer treatment, she told The Times: “The worst part was having to tell Ashley. She has always been a catastrophiser; telling her was like throwing a hand grenade.” She described the end-of-life stage as “devastating news,” while also acknowledging, “we all come to an end sometime.”

Godley had jokingly told her daughter how to cope with her worsening health. She said: “I tell Ashley that she is likely to feel a sense of relief once it’s finally done and I'm dead: no more chemo, no more hair loss, no more vomiting, no more worry.”

In September, she cancelled her autumn tour due to her stage four ovarian cancer, which had been treated over the last few years, but had returned with added complications.

Her daughter BBC Radio Scotland presenter Ashley Storrie confirmed in October that Godley was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University Of Glasgow, something she said had “brought her so much joy in the final beats of her life”.

BBC comedy Dinosaur, created by Matilda Curtis and Ashley Storrie, is a local family story set against the backdrop of Glasgow.

Dinosaur follows Nina, played by Ashley, an autistic woman in her 30s, who adores her life living with her sister and best friend Evie. Glasgow street scenes feature prominently across the show.

The sisters’ usual routine is interrupted as Evie announces she is engaged to her boyfriend of six weeks, Ranesh, pushing the family and friends into new scenarios that become all too much much for Nina as she is pushed in with new groups and placed at the centre of preparations for the wedding. Ashley says: “Dinosaur is about love, friendship, sisterhood and being your own self even if it makes people uncomfortable because, you should be comfortable.”
